41-Non-Virginia Lawyers
55-Firm Names and Letterhead
A foreign citizen who is not licensed to practice law in the United States may not indicate on letterhead that the lawyer is a legal adviser to various countries, since it would tend to be misleading. [The new foreign legal consultant rule (Rule 1A:7) may permit this activity.]
