You need to register the constitution of the New Zealand Law Society. The Council must deliver the constitution to the Registrar of Companies within 14 days. They must also deliver any changes to the constitution within 14 days. You can find more information by looking at the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006 and other related laws. The Council has to keep the Registrar of Companies up to date with the latest version of the constitution. This is an important part of how the New Zealand Law Society is run.
