FAQ
New York PLLCs must be owned and run by professionals licensed in New York to practice the profession or professions the PLLC will engage in. So if a PLLC will provide physical and occupational therapy services, its owners, as well as managers, must be licensed in physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Many states have Bar numbers; New York does not. The registration number, which appears on the biennial registration form, is used for internal Office of Court Administration record-keeping only.
Some states allow foreign lawyers to apply for bar admission based on years of law practice and/or a qualifying foreign law degree (typically involving legal education in English common law). However, most states require foreign lawyers to obtain an LL. M. degree (or equivalent) from an ABA-accredited law school.
In short, every method for qualifying to sit for the New York bar exam requires some study in law school. There are several alternative New York bar exam eligibility requirements. Obtain a Juris Doctorate degree from a law school approved by the American Bar Association (ABA).
To practice law in the United States, any and all lawyers – foreign or domestic – must be admitted to the bar association of the state in which they wish to practice.
