Rule 16.05 of the Rules for Admission of Attorneys allows attorneys employed by an Oregon business entity to be admitted to practice law Oregon as house counsel.
A “business entity” is a corporation, partnership, association, or other legal entity (together with parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates) that is not engaged in the practice of law or the rendering of legal services. Governmental bodies are not included.
Applications can be found on the Oregon State Bar’s website.
