Written by experts in the field, including judges, academics, and leading practitioners, with 31 contributing authors and covering 30 topics, Professional Responsibility in New Zealand allows lawyers to effectively manage risk by ensuring that everyone understands their ethical and legal obligations.

Covering the regulation of the legal profession, professional responsibilities, practitioners, clients, and an annotated version of the Conduct and Client Care Rules, this book is a must-have resource for all practitioners and students of law.

This second edition has been updated to reflect the amendments to the Conduct and Client Care Rules, which were recommended by the New Zealand Law Society's independent working group report on bullying and harassment in the legal profession. It has also extensive rewrites and updates to a number of chapters, as well as the creation of a new chapter on professional responsibility and AI.

Drawn from the online publication of the same name, Professional Responsibility in New Zealand provides expert commentary on the professional obligations of lawyers of all kinds, mediators, and non-lawyer advocates.
