The purposes of this Act are to maintain public confidence in legal services and conveyancing services, to protect the consumers of these services, and to recognise the status of the legal profession. You will see this Act achieve these purposes by reforming the law relating to lawyers and providing a more responsive regulatory regime. This Act also enables conveyancing to be carried out by both lawyers and conveyancing practitioners, and it repeals the Law Practitioners Act 1982.
