What reserved legal activities am I not authorised to carry on as a member?

If you are not a Fellow, you may not administer oaths.

If you are not employed by an authorised person, or have not got additional practice rights for reserved or regulated activities, you must not:

• conduct litigation;
• exercise a right of audience;
• carry out conveyancing;
• carry out probate activities (confined to preparing the probate application and applying for the grant or letters of administration); or
• carry out notarial activities.

It is important to recognise that if you are employed by an authorised person other than a solicitor, you must only carry out the activities which that authorised person is entitled to carry out.
