Lodging Conflict Of Interest

Summary

Complaints about conflicts of interest with law firms in NSW are generally handled by the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (OLSC). The Law Society of NSW typically refers such complaints to the OLSC. If the OLSC refuses to accept your complaint, you can request a formal explanation, seek advice from the Law Society, or consult an independent lawyer. Free or low-cost legal advice may be available through Legal Aid NSW or community legal centres, though eligibility depends on income and other factors.
