(b)  the only legal services that the corporation provides are any or all of the following services:

(i)  in-house legal services, namely, legal services provided to the corporation concerning a proceeding or transaction to which the corporation (or a related body corporate) is a party,

(ii)  services that are not legally required to be provided by an Australian legal practitioner and that are provided by an officer or employee who is not an Australian legal practitioner, or

(c)  the corporation is a complying community legal centre, or

(d)  this Division or the regulations so provide.

(3)  The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the application (with or without specified modifications) of provisions of this Act to corporations that are not incorporated legal practices because of the operation of subsection (2).
