64 supervisory cases were submitted to the Bar Association's board, which decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings in 63 cases.
In addition, five cases concerning supervision under the Money Laundering Act were submitted, where the board also decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings.
The cases will be tried by the disciplinary committee in 2025.
Jens Kallmin is the head of the supervisory unit, which was established at the turn of the year 2023/24.
Since the supervisory unit was established, the association can pursue cases on its own initiative, without a report from anyone affected. This means that more cases are being tried, he says.
The supervisory unit's task is to review that lawyers and law firms comply with the lawyer's code of conduct and the regulations concerning money laundering.
During the first year of operation, the unit reviewed 155 law firms in its planned supervision. In addition, 115 supervisory cases were initiated, based on information received by the unit from various sources.
