Ethical considerations are an inherent part of practising law due to the multiple obligations solicitors owe their clients, the courts, the profession and the public. With so many interests to serve, the right path to take is not always clear.

The Law Society is responsible for assisting all solicitors in the state to deliver services that are of the highest professional and ethical standards.

The Law Society performs this role by combining its regulatory powers with an increasing emphasis on education and supporting the profession to comply with the ethical requirements of practice.
