Members of QIL include national firms, small firms, sole practitioners, government departments, and even some State legal aid bodies. State Boards have been formed in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. A New Zealand Board will soon be formed. Member firms are able to be certified to various levels under the QIL code. This is a rigorous process that requires firms to implement the principles of best practice and quality management in their practices.
Certification is provided by independent third party evaluators.
This certification under the QIL Code is now gaining considerable recognition from third parties. QIL also provides training programs. These are designed to give QIL members the confidence and approach to manage their firms and deliver legal services in today's very competitive environment.
