Key legal question
Whether lawyers employed by a law-firm AG may remain entered in the cantonal register under Art. 8(1)(d) BGFA
Extracted holding
Yes. A law-firm AG is not excluded as a matter of principle; registration remains possible if the AG is fully controlled by registered lawyers and their independence is preserved.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8(1)(d) BGFA targets dependence on non-registered third parties, not the corporate form itself. The relevant question is the concrete organizational structure, not whether the employer is a legal person.
