Client Service Charter

Client Service Charter

The following Client Service Charter has been developed in conjunction with the Queensland Law Society. We encourage lawyers and consumers to use the Charter as a basis for discussion between lawyers and clients at their first meeting. It can be a useful tool to help establish a respectful and professional relationship and effective two-way communication. We also suggest referring to the information sheet Communicating with your lawyer.
