Can a Lawyer Practicing Individually Provide Legal Advice to Individuals?

I am looking into legal activities and I understand that lawyers can practice at law offices or companies or practice individually. May I ask if an individual practicing lawyer can provide legal advice to individuals? Thank you!

Pursuant to Clause 19, Article 1 of the Amended Law on Lawyers 2012, which stipulates that lawyers practicing individually are defined as follows:

- Lawyers practicing individually are those working under a labor contract for agencies or organizations that are not law-practicing organizations.

- In cases where the labor contract includes an agreement, the lawyer practicing individually must purchase professional liability insurance for their practice activities as prescribed by insurance business laws.

- Lawyers practicing individually are not permitted to provide legal services to other individuals, agencies, or organizations outside of those with whom they have signed a labor contract, except as requested by a state agency or when participating in criminal case proceedings at the request of procedural agencies and providing legal aid as assigned by the Bar Association to which the lawyer is a member.

=> Therefore, based on the aforementioned regulations, lawyers practicing individually are only allowed to provide legal services to the agencies or organizations according to their labor contracts. Except in cases where legal aid is provided as assigned by the Bar Association to which the lawyer is a member.

This is the support content!

Respectfully!
