A foreign legal consultant bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the foreign legal consultant filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The State Bar of California requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding all applicable provisions of California Rules of Court. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
