Eligibility Requirements

CRITERIA FOR APPLICATION BY MULTI-PRACTICE LAW FIRMS TO BECOME MEMBERS OF THE EANYC

  1. No more than 20% of the net revenue of the multi-practice law firm may come from a law practice whose classification in the EANYC is filled by another law firm in the EANYC. In addition, because each law firm in a classification in the EANYC performs its own litigation in its particular practice area, there is no classification for “commercial litigation” or “civil litigation” or a similar litigation practice.
  2. The proposed primary Designated Representative of the multi-practice law firm must be an equity partner in that law firm.
  3. The pre-screen for an application by a multi-practice firm will be performed by the existing Law Firm Group members in the EANYC, which will investigate the character, fitness, and ethics of the equity partner proposed as the law firm’s Designated Representative and the culture and marketing approach of the law firm.
  4. Equity law partners from multi-practice law firms who apply as the Designated Representative of their firm must acknowledge and agree, by separate signature, on their membership application that (i) they and their
    law firm will only solicit business and referrals from EANYC members for the particular classification for which they are approved by the EANYC, and not for any other law practices in their firm, (ii) they and their law firm will adhere and comply with this condition to membership whether a solicitation is made at an EANYC lunch or other EANYC event or in any contact with any representative of an EANYC member made outside of the EANYC.
