Of Counsel Attorneys
“Of Counsel” is a professional designation used by a lawyer to denote a continuing relationship with a lawyer or law firm other than as a partner or associate or the equivalent of a partner or associate. The “of counsel” relationship has as its core characteristic a close, regular, and personal relationship that is more than a mere forwarder or receiver of legal business, more than an occasional consultant relationship, and more than a relationship for the purposes of one case. See ABA Formal Opinion 90-357 (1990); ISBA Ops. 776, 817, 840.
