KUWAIT CITY, March 18: Dr. Khaled Al- Suwaifan, Secretary of the Kuwait Lawyers Society (KLS), announced that the society has filed official complaints against individuals, including several expatriates, who are falsely claiming to be lawyers and spreading misleading or inaccurate legal information on social media. Dr. Al-Suwaifan urged citizens not to rely on legal consultations from unlicensed individuals or from sources outside Kuwait. He emphasized that the law that regulates the legal profession in Kuwait provides a clear framework, allowing only registered and practicing lawyers to offer legal services, thereby preserving the profession’s integrity and ensuring the proper administration of justice.
Dr. Al-Suwaifan highlighted the society’s pivotal role in regulating professional practice through law firms and professional companies in compliance with legal regulations, thus contributing to service quality and protecting litigants’ rights. He warned that practicing law without proper registration is a clear legal violation and may harm litigants due to inaccurate legal advice. Dr. Al-Suwaifan stressed that the society recently identified social media content designed to mislead the public regarding legal services and has taken action in accordance with the law.
