The Personal Injury Lawyers and law firms, sometimes known as also the ”ambulance chasers” of the legal practice profession, are trying to use a variety of big tricks to try and exploit new loopholes found in the laws banning them from trying to advertise their services to individuals.

The NSW government body, which has also had very distinct and mixed results in preventing them from doing this, will try to increase the pressure on their new campaign that is starting this week by tying to send national advertising ban on all the law firms that try to do this.

As of the year 2005 new restrictions were introduced in NSW, with some law firms trying to use devices such as new disclaimers and also various new pop-up screens that show up on their websites to try and get around these existing regulations.

The main NSW Attorney-General, John Hatzistergos, says the practices are ”predatory. Mr Hatzistergos will have a meeting with the nation’s attorney general in Australia Sydney to follow up on his outline and try to ban these kind of practices across the country.
