The new Lawyer and Paralegal Directory is here – making it easier to find and understand key information about licensees.

With improved accessibility, usability and navigation, the updated directory helps both the public and legal professionals quickly access important details such as licensing status, areas of practice, languages offered and regulatory history.

It brings together information that was previously shared across other resources and supports additional information to be added to the directory on September 1, 2026, as part of the Increased Transparency initiative.
