A?bill pending before the North Carolina state legislature would permit non-profit corporations, operating as professional or trade associations, or as business leagues, to offer legal services to their members. Under the bill, such legal services would have to be performed by a North Carolina licensed attorney. At least one other state, Pennsylvania, expressly permits the practice, and some other states have no prohibition against it.
The NC State Bar has voiced opposition to the bill, citing concerns ?over conflicts of interest and independence for lawyers practicing under such an arrangement.?Proponents counter that these concerns can adequately be addressed through the attorney disciplinary system, and that allowing the practice would make legal services more readily available to individuals and businesses for whom private counsel may be cost prohibitive.
A committee hearing on the bill is scheduled for June 1st.
