South Australia’s largest legal assistance organisation, the Legal Services Commission, has appointed Alice Rolls to head up its Civil Law Division.

Alice joins Legal Services as Manager, Civil Law, with nearly 20 years’ experience as a commercial litigator, representing clients in a broad range of disputes involving insolvency, professional negligence, breach of contract and trade practices issues, as well as serving as a Principal of LK Law in Adelaide. Alice was instrumental in establishing the Accessible Justice Project while at LK Law in partnership with the University of Adelaide.
