Independent representation, regulated by the Law Society of Ontario.
Since 2007, licensed paralegals in Ontario have been authorized to represent clients directly, independently of lawyers, within a defined and regulated scope of practice. Once licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, a paralegal may represent clients at tribunals, in Small Claims Court, in traffic and Provincial Offences court, and in certain other proceedings, as well as provide legal advice and negotiate on a client's behalf. This defined scope keeps our focus narrow and our experience deep: we understand the procedures, timelines, and expectations of the tribunals and courts we appear before, and we put that specialized knowledge to work resolving your matter efficiently.
