SUMMARY:Is there any such thing as unauthorised practice of law in the gl
 obal legal market?
DESCRIPTION:As global firms continue to consolidate and merge\, considera
 tions of territoriality become more challenging. What is considered allo
 wable transient practice in one jurisdiction may be unauthorised practis
 e of law in other jurisdictions. The ability of law firms to maintain le
 gally distinct affiliates while projecting a ‘one-stop shop’ is under ch
 allenge. At the same time\, affiliations and the use of partners outside
  the home jurisdiction may trigger claims of unauthorised practice that 
 can affect the ability to collect fees\, as well as issues of attorney-c
 lient privilege. Have traditional concepts of what is and is not the pra
 ctise of law been eroded? This session surveys the field of how alternat
 ive business structures and contemporary means of delivery of legal serv
 ices and whether 20th century notions of unauthorised practise of law ca
 n survive the emergence of new and varied legal structures and mechanism
 s.
