Ethics

The QLS Ethics and Practice Centre is led by the Principal Ethics and Practice Counsel and is comprised of a team of solicitors with over 70 years of combined experience in legal practice, our solicitors are well placed to assist with most queries regarding legal ethics and practice support.

On 1 October 2019, QLS Solicitor Support, an incorporated legal practice was formed to provide counsel, guidance and advice on ethical and practice management issues (including educational services). QLS Solicitor Support is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Society and was created to enable practitioners who seek such guidance to claim client legal privilege over such counsel.

What we do

If you are a lawyer or work for a lawyer and are a QLS member, our solicitors are available to discuss and provide confidential ethical guidance and advice. Even if the ethical issue relates to a sensitive matter, you can be comfortable knowing that talking to us is permitted under the ASCR (see Rule 9.2.3) and is confidential.

If you require guidance on practice compliance or practice management issues, you can contact QLS Solicitor Support on 07 3842 5843.
