National Competition Policy Review of the Legal Profession Act 1987


How to make a Submission


The issues paper takes the form of chapters canvassing the main issues of importance for competition policy. Copies of the issues paper are available from the Legislation and Policy Division of the Attorney General’s Department on 9228 8028 or on the Department’s website at www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au. Submissions are sought from any person having an interest in the profession and its regulation, or the legal services market, including consumers, corporate clients, and members of other occupational groups. Many of the matters discussed in the issues paper may appear to be of greatest relevance to solicitors in private practice and to barristers, but the scheme covers the whole profession, and submissions are also sought from government and corporate lawyers, academics and non-practising lawyers.

Submissions should be made to Mr Laurie Glanfield, Director General, Attorney General’s Department, Level 19, Goodsell Building, Chifley Square, Sydney NSW 2001. Questions or comments about the paper can be directed to Catherine Morgan on 9228 8077 or by email at catherine_morgan@agd.nsw.gov.au. The closing date for submissions closed on 18 September 1998.
