Legal consultants can now participate in administrative violation cases

14.01.2025

According to the legislative amendments introduced to Article 748 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan, not only lawyers, but also legal consultants can now act as defenders in administrative cases. Previously, only lawyers with the appropriate license had this opportunity.

In addition, legal consultants were included in Article 750 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which regulates the issues of replacing a defender and paying for his work. The updates also affected the articles concerning the liability of defenders for administrative offenses; now consultants are also mentioned among them.

These amendments expand the opportunities for citizens to find qualified legal assistance and protection.
