Finding an Entertainment Attorney
If my LLC is based in New York, can I have an attorney from another state prepare contracts?

Yes, provided you are not relying on him for legal advice. However, I note that NY's LLC law has some unique features, among which is its notice publication requirement, about which an attorney not licensed in NY may be unaware. Should you desire to discuss this matter further, or if you would like the assistance of an attorney licensed in NY, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Yes. They just need to be familiar with NY Limited Liability Company law.

It's really a non-issue, as anyone can technically prepare these contracts even regardless if they are or are not a licensed attorney period. The benefot of having an attorney licensed in the state of your incorporation simply then becomes a closer knowledge of the law which governs your company...
Please ensure you do not use a foreing attorney for legal advice in the State of New York - you both may meet serious repercussions.
Please feel free to contact my office on this matter for further discussion.
