Supreme Court Panel Recommends Allowing 'Virtual' Bona Fide Offices

Supreme Court Panel Recommends Allowing 'Virtual' Bona Fide Offices: "Lawyers may soon be allowed to practice in New Jersey using "virtual" law offices instead of having to keep up bricks-and-mortar locations.


A state Supreme Court committee is recommending an unprecedented loosening of the bona fide office rule. No longer would a physical plant be required, as long as the lawyer is reachable by clients, other lawyers and the courts for official business, including service of process."


An article of mine discussing the issues - "We're All Virtual Lawyers Now" appeared in the December 2011 issue of New Jersey Lawyer - the monthly magazine of the New Jersey State Bar Association
