Welcome to the Legal Services Commission
The Legal Services Commission is an independent statutory body created under the Legal Profession Act 2007.
Our core business is to receive and deal with complaints about lawyers; commence investigations on our own initiative when we suspect lawyers have acted improperly; audit incorporated legal practices to help them develop and maintain ethical workplace cultures, initiate disciplinary or other regulatory action as appropriate; communicate what we learn as we go about our work, contribute to related policy discussion and undertake relevant and practical projects and research.
We see our most fundamental purposes to be to protect the rights of legal consumers and promote high standards of conduct in the delivery of legal services.
