What is an FLC (Foreign Legal Consultant)

 

In California, a Foreign Legal Consultant (FLC) is licensed to practice law in a foreign country but not the United States. The State Bar of California allows such individuals to provide specific legal services, but their scope is limited. Here's what an FLC can and cannot do:

Services a Foreign Legal Consultant Can Provide:

  1. Advice on Foreign Law:
    • An FLC can advise clients on the laws of the foreign country in which they are licensed to practice. This is their primary service offering.

  1. Legal Documentation and Contracts Related to Foreign Law:
    • An FLC can draft and prepare legal documents for international transactions, provided these documents relate to the law of the foreign jurisdiction they are qualified.

  1. Consultation on International Matters:
    • They can consult on international legal matters and transactions, again limited to the laws of their home country.

  1. Cooperation with U.S. Attorneys:
    • An FLC may collaborate with attorneys licensed in California or other U.S. states on cases that involve the application of both U.S. and foreign law.
