LEGAL PROFESSION UNIFORM LAW (NSW) - SECT 107

107 Disclosure obligations

(1) This section applies if a person engages a law practice to which this Division applies to provide services that the person might reasonably assume to be legal services and the law practice provides both legal services and other services.

(2) The law practice must, in accordance with the Uniform Rules, make a disclosure to the person informing the person--

(a) whether the services are legal services; and

(b) of any other matters specified in the Uniform Rules for the purposes of this section.

(3) If a proper disclosure has not been made under this section, the standard of care owed by the law practice in respect of the service is the standard that would be applicable if the service were a legal service that had been provided by an Australian legal practitioner.
