By Antonio Quezada and Jorge Luis Rodas Garcia

Letter from ACC to Virgin Islands Supreme Court

This letter was submitted to the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands in support of its proposed amendment to Supreme Court Rule 202.1, which would allow in-house counsel from other U.S. jurisdictions to work for their client-employers located in the Virgin Islands without gaining admission to the bar there. The court’s action came on the heels of legislation introduced at the end of 2014 in the Legislature of the Virgin Islands, which sought a legislative remedy to the issue of unauthorized practice by in-house attorneys not licensed by the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Working in-house is different. You have three hats now: legal counselor, business partner and guardian of the corporation. They didn’t teach you about this in the law firm or in law school. Among other things, you will have to learn all about the business, adapt to a different culture, become cost effective, develop good working relationships with your clients, think about non-legal topics like risk management and somehow balance it all and conserve your most precious resource –– you!
