s 140 Effect of becoming limited liability law partnership
140.—(1) A limited liability law partnership is authorised to do anything that a solicitor can do by law and is required to do all that a solicitor is required to do by law.[40/2014] (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the doing of anything that can only be done by a solicitor as a natural person.[40/2014] (3) A regulated legal practitioner who provides legal services as a partner or an employee of a limited liability law partnership is subject to the same standards of professional conduct and competence in respect of such services as if he or she were personally providing the legal services as a regulated legal practitioner in a law firm.[40/2014] (4) The mere fact that a regulated legal practitioner personally provides legal services as a partner or an employee of a limited liability law partnership does not affect the personal liability of that regulated legal practitioner at law.[40/2014]
