Advocacy Services

201.4/1  When providing an advocacy service a member should bear in mind other rules of professional conduct, such as Rules 203 and 205. These rules require a member to sustain professional competence in all functions in which the member practises and not to associate with any letter, report, statement or representation which the member knows or should know is false or misleading.

201.4/2  A member should ensure that the advocacy service does not constitute the practice of law.
