Can lawyers work remotely?

Lawyers work remotely in transactional practice areas: contract drafting, corporate work, intellectual property, compliance, estate planning, and immigration.

Attorney-client privilege requires identical protection for remote and in-office work. Encrypted document management systems (NetDocuments, iManage) store all files.

State bar ethics rules approve cloud-based practice with appropriate security measures.
