"What happens when you make a complaint about a lawyer"

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

If you make a complaint, a Standards Committee might decide to look into it. They must start looking into it as soon as they can. You can see how this rule has changed over time by looking at the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 1982.
