Book excerpt: Both K.S.A. 7-104 and Rule No. 116 of the Kansas Supreme Court (K.S.A. 60-2702a) require that an attorney who is licensed to practice in another jurisdiction associate with local counsel prior to transacting professional business before an administrative agency of the state. The submission of securities registration statements to the Kansas Securities Commissioner pursuant to K.S.A. 17-1256 does not involve any personal appearance unless and until the commissioner denies registration under K.S.A. 17-1260, and so does not constitute professional business before an administrative agency sufficient to invoke the provisions of the local counsel statute and rule. Accordingly, the local counsel requirements of K.S.A. 7-104 and Rule No. 116 do not apply to the filing of such statements. Cited herein: K.S.A. 7-102, 7-104, 17-1256, 17-1260, 17-1261, 60-2702a (Rule No. 116), K.A.R. 81-4-1, 81-11-1, 82-1-228 (amended 1977).
