Except for the provisions of sections thirteen hundred three, thirteen
hundred four, thirteen hundred sixteen, thirteen hundred seventeen and
thirteen hundred twenty, this chapter shall be applicable to a foreign
professional service corporation to the extent that the provisions
thereof are not in conflict with the provisions of this article. A
foreign professional service corporation may practice in this state, or
may consolidate or merge with another corporation, or may be a member of
a professional service limited liability company, a foreign professional
service limited liability company, a registered limited liability
partnership or foreign limited liability partnership, only if all of the
professions practiced by such corporations, limited liability companies
or limited liability partnerships could be practiced by a single
professional service corporation organized in this state; and, further,
only if such foreign professional service corporation is domiciled in a
state or territory of the United States the laws of which, at the time
of application by such corporation under section fifteen hundred thirty
of this article, contain a reciprocal provision under which professional
service corporations domiciled in this state may similarly apply for the
privilege of doing business in any such state or territory; provided
further however, that nothing herein shall authorize a foreign
professional service corporation practicing professional engineering,
land surveying, geology, architecture and/or landscape architecture to
be a member or partner of a professional service limited liability
company, a foreign professional service limited liability company, a
registered limited liability partnership or a foreign limited liability
partnership unless all of the shareholders, directors and officers of
such foreign professional service corporation are licensed to practice
one or more of such professions in this state.
