Legal Profession Act 2007

This part does not authorise an interstate-registered foreign lawyer to practise foreign law in this jurisdiction to a greater extent than a locally registered foreign lawyer could be authorised under a local registration certificate.

Also, an interstate-registered foreign lawyer’s right to practise foreign law in this jurisdiction—

is subject to any conditions imposed by the law society under section 208, and any conditions imposed under the legal profession rules as mentioned under that section; and

is to the greatest extent and with all necessary changes—

the same as the interstate-registered foreign lawyer’s right to practise foreign law in the lawyer’s home jurisdiction; and

subject to any condition on the interstate-registered foreign lawyer’s right to practise foreign law in that jurisdiction.

If there is an inconsistency between conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(a) and conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the conditions that the law society believes are the more onerous prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

An interstate-registered foreign lawyer must not practise foreign law in this jurisdiction in a way that is not authorised by this Act or in contravention of any condition mentioned in this section.
