What term describes attorneys from different law firms who represent the same client?

Pro Se
Of Counsel
Co-counsel
In-House Counsel

The correct answer is: Co-counsel

Co-counsel is the term used to describe attorneys from different law firms who represent the same client. This partnership between attorneys allows them to collaborate on legal matters, drawing on each firm’s unique expertise and resources. Co-counsel arrangements can enhance the legal representation provided to the client by leveraging the strengths of each attorney, enabling a more comprehensive approach to the case. In this context, terms like Pro Se refer to individuals who represent themselves in legal proceedings without professional legal assistance, while "Of Counsel" typically describes an attorney who has a close, ongoing relationship with a law firm but is not a partner or associate. Lastly, In-House Counsel refers to legal professionals employed directly by a corporation or organization, representing their interests, rather than representing clients in a business relationship across different firms.
