1422 REVIEW GRANTED A NY law firm, not admitted in California, that rendered services in California, to a California client, in a California dispute, between California parties, over a contract formed in California, which was to be governed by California law, thereby engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, and its fee agreement was therefore void and unenforceable, but it can recover in quantum meruit for services lawfully performed in NY.CitationBIRBROWER v SUPERIOR COURT (NY Lawyers) 49 CA4 801 [See: B&PC 6125; People v Merchants 189 C 531]
