ACT Law Society
The ACT Law Society provides a range of information and assistance to help people to understand their legal issues and, where appropriate, to find a lawyer.
Legal Advice Bureau - The Legal Advice Bureau within the ACT Law Society provides free initial advice to any member of the public to help determine if legal assistance is needed and what the next steps should be. The Bureau is manned by members of the ACT Law Society and operates 12.30pm to 2pm on weekdays. To make an appointment for a free 15 minute consultation, call the ACT Law Society on 02 6274 0300.
Find a Lawyer - On the ACT Law Society website there is a ‘Find a Firm’ function. This tool enables you to search for a lawyer by law firm, firm type, language spoken and suburb.
