The Legal Complaints Review Officer independently reviews decisions made by the New Zealand Law Society and New Zealand Society of Conveyancers Standards Committees on complaints against lawyers and conveyancers.
The reviews are as informal and straightforward as possible while giving proper consideration to the process of the review itself and the law.
What to do if you want to apply for a review of a decision, requirement, order made or direction given
If you are unhappy after a standards committee has investigated a complaint, you can apply to the Legal Complaints Review Officer to review the decision.
