Q: Dear Ethics Lawyer, I have been asked by a law firm from another city to serve as local counsel to them in a litigation matter. The law firm wants my agreement that they will do all the material work and will handle all communications with the client, that my responsibility is simply to file pleadings and briefs they produce, and stand by for any local practice questions. This will not be a big matter for me, but any business is business, and maybe it will lead to more. Do you see any issues with this?
