We are pleased to advise that we have again expanded the practice areas in the Find a Lawyer feature of the Law Society website to include: “Legal Coaching” and “Limited Scope” practitioners.
During these challenging times, it is important to ensure that members of the public, and other users of the Find a Lawyer function of the website are able to identify service providers providing services in all areas. These two practice areas facilitate the public’s ability to connect with lawyers who handle only a part of a client’s case or do a specific task. For all other parts of the matter, the client are self-represented. Some services that are commonly offered by lawyers include:
Some lawyers offer legal coaching. Legal coaching is a type of unbundled or limited scope legal service, where a lawyer-coach helps a person with strategies and tools needed to present their case as effectively as possible. The client remains responsible for doing all of the work on his/her file. For more information on unbundling/limited scope services and legal coaching, please see the Saskatchewan Legal Coaching and Unbundling Pilot Project website.
If you are a lawyer who provides unbundled/limited scope services and/or legal coaching be sure to update your member profile!
