Attorneys who are not residents of New York must maintain a physical office in the state in order to practice law here, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
The 6-0 court said the required “plain language” reading of Judiciary Law §470 can lead to no other conclusion than that the “statute requires nonresident attorneys to maintain a physical office in New York” if they wish to maintain a practice within the state.
