The Legal Profession Act 2006 is the main instrument used to regulate the legal profession. It is a law that is well over 600 pages long, if you include the regulations. Practitioners and members of the public who wish to review the law should also review regulations and lawyers` codes of conduct to get the full picture. The Act is administered by the Law Society in consultation with and, in some cases, with the consent of the Attorney General. The Legal Profession Regulations 2007 support and extend the Legal Profession Act 2006. While regulations cannot violate the law, they can establish administrative processes to help regulators and those directly affected by the law administer and comply with the law.
