AUTHORIZED AND UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE § 3. Jurisdictional Scope of the Practice of Law by a Lawyer Minn.2016. Subsec. (3) quot. in diss. op.; com. (e) cit. and quot. in sup., quot. in diss. op. Director of state Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility issued a private admonition against Colorado- licensed attorney for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law by representing his in-laws in negotiating a settlement regarding their ability to pay a Minnesota judgment; a panel of the Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board affirmed the admonition. This court affirmed, holding that the panel's decision that defendant violated the Minnesota Rules of Professional Responsibility even though he was not physically present in Minnesota was not clearly erroneous. Citing Restatement Third of the Law Governing Lawyers § 3, the court explained that defendant was not permitted to provide legal services on a temporary basis under the rule's exception, because the provided services did not arise out of or reasonably relate to his Colorado practice; the dissent argued that the services related to his practice's collection work. In re Charges of Unprofessional Conduct in Panel File No. 39302, 884 N.W.2d 661, 668, 670-672. TOPIC 5. LAW-FIRM STRUCTURE AND OPERATION TITLE A. ASSOCIATION OF LAWYERS IN LAW ORGANIZATIONS § 9. Law-Practice Organizations-In General Ga.App.2016. Subsec. (3) quot. in sup. Partners at a law firm brought an action for, inter alia, breach of the duty of loyalty and breach of fiduciary duty against law firm's former associate attorney and her new firm, alleging that associate breached her duties to plaintiffs by taking eight cases with her when she terminated her employment with plaintiffs' firm. The trial court denied in part defendants' motion for summary judgment. This court affirmed in part, holding that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether associate was a fiduciary owing a duty of loyalty based on her status as law firm's agent. The court looked to Restatement Third of the Law Governing Lawyers § 9(3) for guidance on when a lawyer leaving a firm could solicit the firm's clients, and explained that there was a factual dispute regarding when associate's employment terminated, which affected whether she breached her duty by soliciting firm's clients before the end of her employment. Tolson Firm, LLC v. Sistrunk, 789 S.E.2d 265, 269. A L m For earlier citations, see the Appendices, Supplements, or Pocket Parts, if any, that correspond to the subject matter under examination.
