The Legal Professions Act, which brings lawyers, notaries and paralegals under a single regulator, passed in May 2024 with an anticipated transition process of 18-24 months.

The CBA is an intervenor in the Law Society and Trial Lawyers Association of BC’s constitutional challenges to the Act, with a three-week summary trial in October 2025.
