Amendments Adopted To Advertising Rules
9.1.2026
Effective June 1, the Presiding Justices of the four Departments of the Appellate Division adopted amendments to the advertising rules of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.
The new rules essentially adopt the advertising rules and comments promulgated in 2018 by the American Bar Association as Rules 7.1 and 7.3 and eliminate Rule 7.4 by moving its subject matter to Rule 7.1(c). Rule 7.2 on Payment for Referrals is unchanged.
In addition, unlike the ABA, New York has retained Rule 7.5 of the New York Rules, on professional notices, letterheads and law firm names, which was amended in June 2020.
