Rule 7.5 Firm Names And Letterheads
(a) A lawyer shall not
use a firm name, letterhead or other professional designation that
violates Rule 7.1.
A trade name may be used by a lawyer in private practice if it does not
imply a connection with a government agency or with a public or
charitable legal services organization and is not otherwise in violation
of Rule 7.1.
(b) A law firm with
offices in more than one jurisdiction
may use the same name or other professional designation in each
jurisdiction, but identification of the lawyers in an office of the firm
shall indicate the jurisdictional limitations on those not licensed to
practice in the jurisdiction where the office is located.
(c) The name of a
lawyer holding a public office shall not
be used in the name of a law firm, or in communications on its behalf,
during any substantial period in which the lawyer is not actively and
regularly practicing with the firm.
(d) Lawyers may state
or imply that they practice in a partnership
or other organization only when that is the fact.
