New Professional Conduct Rules for Inhouse Counsel
It will be a matter of interest to in-house counsel that with effect from 1 January 2011 the new Legal Professional Conduct Rules (Conduct Rules) came into effect in Western Australia. Those rules are made under the Legal Profession Act 2008 and apply to all legal practitioners, including in-house counsel and whether they are an Australian lawyer, an Australian Registered Foreign Lawyer or an Overseas Registered Foreign Lawyer, who are engaged in legal practice in Western Australia.
