The Board may be unable to deal with your complaint if it is made more than 3 years after the conduct is alleged to have occurred. If you think your complaint might be too old to deal with, you can read the Board’s fact sheet on ‘out of time complaints’ or contact us to discuss the matter.
However we will send a copy of your complaint to the lawyer involved unless it will interfere with the investigation or put you at risk. We must also advise the Law Society of Tasmania of details of the complaint
The Law Society maintains the Register of Legal Practitioners where you can search for lawyers with current practising certificates.
The Legal Profession Board of Tasmania is required to maintain the Register of Disciplinary Action in accordance with Section 497 of the Legal Profession Act 2007. Information relating to disciplinary action taken by the Board, the Disciplinary Tribunal or the Supreme Court must be published on the Register.
As a public authority, the Legal Profession Board of Tasmania routinely publishes information about the programs, policies and services we provide to help the public understand what we do. The Right to Information Act 2009 provides public access to information held by government bodies. Get a form to request more information.
