Which individuals are typically exempt from licensure regarding legal services?

Attorneys at law are typically exempt from licensure regarding legal services because they are already licensed legal professionals. Their education, training, and examination validate their qualifications to provide legal advice and represent clients in various matters. Given that they hold a license to practice law, there is no additional requirement for them to obtain a separate license for legal services, as their existing credentials provide the necessary authority.

On the other hand, notaries, real estate consultants, and accountants may be involved in various aspects of legal transactions but do not hold a legal license to practice law. They operate under different regulatory frameworks and do not have the same qualifications or permissions as attorneys. Notaries authenticate documents, real estate consultants offer advice based on their expertise in the property market, and accountants provide financial services; none of which grants them the comprehensive authority to offer legal representation or advice as a licensed attorney does.
