Guidance statements

This guidance statement looks at the ethical issues practitioners should consider when acting for or on behalf of an insured on the instructions of an insurer.

This Guidance Statement considers the ethical issues faced by solicitors working in multi-disciplinary practices and in particular, focusses on the Community Legal Centre ('CLC’) experience where practitioners interact with social workers.

This Guidance Statement is concerned specifically with ‘limited scope representation' in the dispute resolution context.
