Other resources to assist lawyers

Lawyers are encouraged to seek the advice of counsel at the earliest stages of an investigation, in particular when the allegations are serious in nature. The Society has compiled a list of practitioners who have volunteered to represent lawyers in the professional responsibility process on a pro bono or reduced fee basis.

In the event of a suspension, please see the Guidelines for Suspended Members.
