Concerns with a Lawyer

Sharing your Concerns with the Society

Lawyers have ethical obligations, established in our Code of Professional Conduct, which they must follow. Most of the obligations that lawyers owe are to their clients, but lawyers also owe some obligations to the courts, other lawyers and members of the public. We regulate the ethical conduct of lawyers in Nova Scotia.

If you have concerns relating to the ethical conduct of a lawyer in Nova Scotia, we may be able to help.

We address concerns brought to our attention, but some matters may fall outside our mandate as the regulator or may not pose a need for early intervention or discipline.
