Technology is changing quickly, and new types of companies are offering legal services. The legal market is becoming more global, which means the way legal services are provided in Alberta and around the world is changing. Even as things change, many people still struggle to access affordable legal help.

The Innovation Sandbox lets the Law Society help people test new ways of delivering legal services. This happens in a safe and supervised setting, where the Law Society gives advice and tracks progress.

Innovation Sandboxes are common in banking and are now becoming popular in the legal field. Places like Utah, British Columbia, Ontario and the United Kingdom already have legal Innovation Sandboxes. Other regions in Canada and the U.S. are looking at starting their own versions as well.
