Hull & Hull LLP’s Post

Attention Ontario lawyers! A significant change is on the horizon. As of January 1, 2025, the Law Society of Ontario requires all private practice lawyers to have a robust client contingency plan in place. This new mandate, as discussed in the latest Ontario Bar Association’s program, is designed to protect the public by ensuring clients are not left without representation if their lawyer can no longer practice. Don’t wait until the audits begin in 2026 to prepare. Our latest blog explores the importance of these changes and offers resources and advice on how to develop an effective contingency plan. https://ow.ly/cLha50TzFlB #LegalInsights #HullonEstates #ContingencyPlanning

This upcoming requirement is especially critical for solo practitioners and small boutique firms, as they’ll need to plan for a supportive system to ensure continuity. Thanks for sharing.
