Guidelines for flood affected lawyers
Recent floods throughout Queensland and the rest of the country have seen law practices deluged and files destroyed. The QLS Centre for Lawyers' Ethics has received many calls from practitioners seeking advice on how best to proceed in these devastating conditions.
The Centre has produced guidance on what to do in situations where current or archived client files have been lost, destroyed, or partly destroyed.
The guidance is attached below.
