Can lawyers work remotely?

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

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

Bachelor's degree holders can complete accelerated certificate programs in 4-6 months. Entry-level positions at law firms or corporate legal departments require certification or degree.
