Welcome to the Legal Services Commission

The Legal Services Commission is an independent statutory body whose primary roles are to protect the rights of legal consumers and promote high standards of conduct in the delivery of legal services.

We are created under the Legal Profession Act 2007 and are responsible for:

• receiving and dealing with complaints about lawyers and law firms
• commencing investigations on our own initiative when we have reason to believe lawyers or law firms have acted inappropriately
• auditing incorporated legal practices to help them to develop and maintain ethical workplace cultures
• taking regulatory or disciplinary action as appropriate, and
• communicating what we learn as we go about our work, contributing to related policy discussions, and undertaking projects and research directed to helping lawyers and law firms achieve high ethical standards.

We value our independence but strive to be consultative. We put a high value on being open and transparent, accessible and responsive, well informed, thorough, fair and accountable for our actions.
