Consultations

We do not want to be confined to a reactive approach - to moving in only after problems have occurred - but to complement our complaints-handling role with a preventative and ethical capacity building approach. more...

Information for consumers
We are making it a priority to publish information which helps users of legal services be better informed about the nature of the legal system, the legal services and products which are available to them, some of the common traps and pitfalls and their rights and obligations. more...
Our most fundamental purposes are to give users of legal services an independent, timely, fair and reasonable means of redress for complaints; to promote, monitor and enforce high standards of conduct in the provision of legal services; and, ultimately, to help protect and promote public confidence in the legal system, the administration of justice and the rule of law.
