Lawyer from Outside Saskatchewan
The Law Society of Saskatchewan may be able to look into concerns about lawyers who are not members in Saskatchewan but who are giving legal services here. However, if your concern is about a lawyer who is not a Saskatchewan member, you should first contact the law society where that lawyer is a member. If that law society has concerns about work the lawyer did in Saskatchewan, they usually contact the Law Society of Saskatchewan to discuss it.
These are links to all of the other Canadian legal regulators. Each site includes a way to search to see if a lawyer is a member there:

Common Questions
A lawyer can be licensed in one province but still work in another Canadian province under the National Mobility Agreement, which applies to all provinces except Québec. The territories are not part of this agreement and have their own rules.
If a lawyer from another province is practising in Saskatchewan under this agreement and you have a concern, you should first contact the law society where that lawyer is licensed.
