LEGAL PROFESSION REGULATION 2005

REG 176

Regulation 176 of the Legal Profession Regulation 2005 deals with the necessary risk management practices that barristers and solicitors ,as employers, need to develop in relation to general employment law matters dealing with discrimination, harassment ,work safety and Fair Work Act issues.These are matters which all employers need to understand and follow. Even though this paper is under the framework of continuing legal education the object of the regulation is not that we may advise others about these principles but that we follow them ourselves. The primary purpose of the regulation is to manage our practices consistent with these principles,( reg 176(1) (e)). This is so, whether our staff are employed directly by a legal practitioner trading as a sole trader ,partnership , trust, service company or by the entity that manages barristers’ chambers.
