LSSA (LPC) Compliance & Audits

Ensuring Legal Practices Meet Regulatory and Financial Requirements

Law firms in South Africa must comply with the Legal Practice Council (LPC) regulations (formerly governed by the Law Society of South Africa – LSSA) to operate legally and maintain trust account compliance. At Burns Acutt, we provide specialised accounting, tax, and audit services for law firms, ensuring full LPC compliance and SARS regulatory adherence.
