New levy for practice on own account applications

Barristers and barristers and solicitors applying to the Law Society to practise on their own account will be charged a levy of $250, including GST, from 1 April 2012.

The levy was passed by the New Zealand Law Society Council on recommendation from the Law Society’s Board to cover the cost of the substantial amount of administrative time taken to process these applications.
