Zara Bari is due to re‑register on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 2015 in the First Department, with an office in Los Angeles, CA; next registration due Dec 2025. The status is the same in all 3 files we hold. The registration was due in Dec 2025 and the register has not recorded it as filed.

What this status means on the register

On the register, “Due to re‑register” means the attorney has a biennial registration falling due or overdue: the rule asks for it within 30 days after the attorney’s birthday in each alternate year, and the record gives the month it is due. The value stays until the register records the filing or marks the registration delinquent, so the month can have passed; by itself it is not a finding.

Others who list this employer on the register

The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Baker & McKenzie LLP”. We count that spelling with Baker McKenzie LLP, the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

357 other attorneys list Baker McKenzie LLP or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 225 of them were admitted before 2015. The 5 whose admission is closest to 2015, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Zara Bari’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, First Department, which admitted Zara Bari in 2015. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to that department’s grievance committee (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).

This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026, and the court system’s own search can be newer; the register shows only the current value, so a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or a censure, leaves no trace here (Appellate Division decisions are published through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau).
