The Law Society’s disciplinary process addresses disciplinary issues and does not award compensation to any party, including the complainant.

If you believe your lawyer was negligent, you have the right to seek legal advice with respect to remedies, keeping in mind that limitation periods exist after which you will not be able to pursue your claim.

If you have received legal advice that your lawyer was negligent, or you believe your lawyer may have stolen or misappropriated funds held in trust on your behalf, Contact the Alberta Lawyers Insurance Association to make a financial claim.
