116 Advertising requirements—incorporated legal practices
(1) Any restriction imposed under this Act or any other Act in relation to
advertising by Australian legal practitioners applies, with necessary
changes, to advertising by an incorporated legal practice in relation
to the provision of legal services.
(2) If a restriction mentioned in subsection (1) is limited to a particular
branch of the legal profession or for people who practise in a
particular style of legal practice, the restriction applies only to the
extent that the incorporated legal practice carries on business in that
branch of the legal profession or in that style of legal practice.
(3) Any advertisement of the kind mentioned in this section is, for the
purposes of disciplinary proceedings taken against an Australian legal
practitioner, taken to have been authorised by each legal practitioner
director of the incorporated legal practice.
(4) This section does not apply if the provision by which the restriction
is imposed expressly excludes its application to incorporated legal
practices.
