Law Council President John Corcoran said, “Given the enormous contribution legal professional services make to Australia’s economy in both a national and international sense, it is simply unacceptable that we do not yet have a single piece of legislation which allows lawyers to operate efficiently on a national scale.” View the LCA media release >
