- identify relevant issues in complaints and investigation matters and potential complaints against legal practitioners, law practice employees and unlawful operators and advise on evidentiary requirements for any subsequent litigation of the issues.
- other duties as directed by the Commissioner and senior members of the Commission from time to time, including:
