Corporate And Volunteer Practice While Administratively Suspended Draws Sanction

A six-month consent suspension was accepted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The misconduct involved the unauthorized practice of law by an attorney who had been placed on inactive status as a result of non-compliance with yearly CLE obligations.

 The attorney was an Associate General Counsel and later Vice President and Associate General Counsel to GlaxoSmithKline in King of Prussia. The unauthorized practice spanned the period from 2009 to April 28, 2014.

In addition to her corporate legal practice, the attorney also violated ethics rules by volunteering legal services while suspended.

Her present duties at GSK do not involve practicing law. (Mike Frisch)
