Join our upcoming prominent webinar to explore the recent changes to the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld), including:

• Approval for law practices, the QLS and community legal centres to destroy or dispose of client documents in certain circumstances from 1 February 2024.

Our presenters will provide an overview of the changes to the client document rules, file ownership, destruction rights, gaining client consent up front, terms for retaining documents, safe custody of long-term files, retention periods for specific classes of documents and managing the destruction process.

• Revised costs disclosure obligations for law practices (including an increase in the full costs disclosure threshold from $1,500 to $3,000) applicable from 1 March 2024.

Our panel will provide a comprehensive understanding of the new costs disclosure requirements, notably the new thresholds for ‘disclosure’ and ‘abbreviated disclosure’, recent changes to the UCT (Unfair Contract Terms) regime with implications for lawyers and their cost agreements, a review of the updated QLS checklists and recent case law.

This webinar aims to empower your daily practice by keeping you informed about consequential changes to the regulation of practitioners, the profession, and client management.
