Where to enquire
Law Association of Zambia
Contact LAZ to ask how to check a practitioner’s current status and where to obtain information about legal practitioners in the area you need.
Contact LAZ LAZ’s public law-firm directory was marked ‘coming soon’ when checked. This is a contact route, not an instant licence check.Legal Aid Board

Before you instruct a lawyer
Check current credentials
Ask for the practitioner’s full name and current practising certificate, and confirm any uncertainty with LAZ. A Legal Pulse reader or contributor account is not proof of a practising entitlement.
Ask about relevant experience
Describe the type of issue and ask whether the practitioner handles matters of that kind, in the relevant court or location. Ask who will personally handle the work.
Agree fees and scope
Request written terms explaining the work covered, consultation charges, expenses, payment arrangements and how additional work will be authorised.
Check availability and conflicts
Explain urgent dates early. Ask the firm how to complete its conflict check before sending detailed confidential records, and confirm when it can respond.
Bring a short, organised brief.
- A one-page timeline and the outcome you want.
- Relevant agreements, payment records and correspondence.
- Every court notice or existing order, with the case number and dates.
- Names of the parties, for the firm’s conflict check.
- Your questions about options, costs and the next step.
If there is immediate danger, seek police or medical assistance. If you have court papers, seek help promptly; an enquiry through a website does not extend a deadline.
