If you are taking an extended period of leave and are not returning during the current practising year, you may consider surrendering your practising certificate. Surrendering your practising certificate means that you do not have to comply with CPD requirements.
Examples of extended leave are parental leave or long service leave.
This resource provides information about what you might consider doing if you experience sexual harassment in legal workplaces
Under workplace health and safety laws, your employer has significant obligations to provide a safe workplace, and that includes emotional and psychological safety, as well as physical safety.
A workplace that tolerates bullying, harassment, or serious overwork is not a safe workplace.
There is also a specific conduct rule that specifies that a lawyer must not engage in conduct that constitutes discrimination, sexual harassment or workplace bullying.
Agreed Pricing, also known as Value Pricing, is an arrangement in which a lawyer and a client agree on a price up front for the lawyer’s services in a matter. It is based on an agreed scope of services and the price is a fair reflection of the client’s perception of value. It is also seen in productised services where a lawyer offers a defined scope of service for a publicly stated price.
There is a wide range of online CPD resources available. We provide funding to the Law Library of Victoria to help them offer two online CPD courses covering legislation and case law. These are free to all Victorian lawyers. For more information, visit the Law Library website.
