The Law Society of Alberta is the independent regulator of the legal profession. We regulate in the public interest by promoting and enforcing a high standard of professional and ethical conduct by Alberta lawyers.

The information you provide concerning a lawyer is important and ultimately contributes to ensuring lawyers maintain the high standards demanded of the profession. Please note that some matters:

• Fall outside our mandate as regulator; or,
• Do not require either early intervention or discipline.

Please visit this page to learn more about what types of complaints can or cannot be addressed by the Law Society.

We address most information concerning a lawyer through a proactive approach to resolve issues and/or by working with the lawyer to achieve high standards of service. However, where the information provided poses significant regulatory risk, we will refer it to our discipline process.

When you submit this form, you will receive confirmation that we have received your information. If you have relevant documents you wish us to see, please provide them to us together with this form.

Please be aware that a copy of this form (or a summary of it) and any enclosures will be sent to the lawyer you are providing information about. If you do not want us to share your contact information with the lawyer, you must advise us in writing of any restrictions.

The Law Society is committed to communicating with you in a respectful manner and expects the same courtesy. We understand that this process can be stressful. However, we will not accept discriminatory, harassing, or profane communications, or any threatening behavior. Please note that repeated behavior of this kind may result in the Law Society restricting communications with you.
