Business Name Registration for Legal Practices

These regulations address the application of a registration exemption to legal practices. They specifically refer to sole proprietors and partnerships providing legal services, showing why a general individual-name exemption cannot simply be assumed for every profession.

Practices covered by the exception to exemption

The instrument covers individuals operating local or foreign law practices as sole proprietors, and firms of multiple individuals operating specified legal practices, including joint law ventures. Definitions are linked to the Legal Profession Act. It also revokes the earlier 2009 regulations, so its effect concerns how a general registration exemption interacts with these particular legal-service structures.
