162 Advertising by Australian-registered foreign lawyers
(1) An Australian-registered foreign lawyer is required to comply with
any advertising restrictions imposed by the relevant council or by law
on legal practice engaged in by an Australian legal practitioner that
are relevant to the practice of law in the ACT.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), an Australian-registered foreign
lawyer must not advertise (or use any description on the lawyer’s
letterhead or any other document used in the ACT to identify the
lawyer as a lawyer) in any way that—
(a) might reasonably be regarded as—
(i) false, misleading or deceptive; or
(ii) suggesting that the Australian-registered foreign lawyer is
an Australian legal practitioner; or
(b) contravenes a regulation.
