Is it permissible to practice in a jurisdiction where you are not licensed if required by a client and you are associated with a local licensed attorney?

No; generally unauthorized practice unless properly admitted or pro hac vice. Yes; you may practice without licensure if the client requests. Only if you are admitted in another jurisdiction. If you are associated with a local licensed attorney, you may practice.

Correct Answer:

No; generally unauthorized practice unless properly admitted or pro hac vice.

Explanation:

Unauthorized practice of law in a jurisdiction where you’re not licensed is the default rule. You may not practice there unless you’re properly admitted in that jurisdiction or granted pro hac vice status for a specific matter. The association with a local licensed attorney does not by itself authorize you to practice; supervision or co-counsel arrangement doesn’t waive the licensure requirement. Pro hac vice is the usual mechanism for temporary participation in a case, but it requires formal approval and local supervision. So, without either admission or pro hac vice, practicing in that jurisdiction isn’t permissible.
