The Canadian Bar Association’s British Columbia branch has invited dialogue with the newly elected provincial government in relation to BC’s Legal Professions Act.
Last week, CBABC president Connor Bildfell released a statement that summarized the organization’s position on the Act, which was passed in 2024 and would establish a single regulator governing lawyers, notaries, and paralegals. Bildfell is among the lawyers representing the CBA on its intervention in the Law Society of BC’s challenge of the Act’s constitutionality; the unresolved litigation has resulted in the LPA not being fully implemented.
