About us

Background

Legal representation was previously provided by the Legal Representation Office (LRO) which was established in 1994 to provide legal advice and representation in relation to the Royal Commission into the NSW Police Service. Legal representation is now provided by the Department of Communities and Justice, Legal (DCJ Legal).

DCJ Legal provides advice and representation to witnesses appearing before the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) (formerly the Police Integrity Commission).

Legal representation has also been provided to witnesses at various Special Commissions, Royal Commissions and selected Coronial Inquests.

Our services

  • We provide independent legal advice and representation to witnesses in relation to their involvement with the ICAC and LECC.
  • We provide legal representation at Royal and Special Commissions of Inquiry and in other matters as directed by the Attorney General.
