Introduction to legal representation

Written By For Good Digital

Only lawyers are allowed to legally represent you. This is governed by law (the Legal Profession Uniform Law (Vic) (‘Uniform Law’).

This chapter explains:

  • what’s required to be a lawyer in Victoria;

  • how to get the most value from your lawyer; and

  • what you can do if you’re not happy with your lawyer (e.g. their costs, behaviour or services).
