The New Zealand Law Society (NZLS) was established by statute in 1869. The current legislation is the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006, which came into force on 1 August 2008. The Act continues the Society and sets out its regulatory and representative functions and powers. The Society regulates all lawyers, but membership of the Society is voluntary.
