Legal Profession Act 2007

An interstate-registered foreign lawyer’s right to practise foreign law in this jurisdiction is subject to any condition imposed under this Act.

Without limiting subsection (1), the law society may impose any condition on the interstate-registered foreign lawyer’s practice of foreign law in this jurisdiction that it may impose under this Act in relation to a locally registered foreign lawyer.

Conditions imposed under a regulation, the legal profession rules or subsection (2) must not be more onerous than conditions applying to locally registered foreign lawyers in the same or similar circumstances.

If the law society imposes a condition under subsection (1)—

the law society must give the interstate-registered foreign lawyer an information notice about the law society’s decision; and

the person may apply, as provided under the QCAT Act, to the tribunal for a review of the decision.
