As the client, it is your responsibility to determine the overall course of action for your issue. Our role as your legal representative is to offer guidance on the various options for advancing your matter, outlining the advantages, disadvantages, and expenses associated with each. Although we will typically propose a suggestion, the ultimate choice will be yours to make. Subsequently, we will provide the legal services necessary to execute your directives.
However, we cannot accept any instructions that conflict with our responsibilities to the courts, other lawyers or the general public. The Law Society of Ontario and Law Society of Saskatchewan’s Code of Conduct defines the standards that we, as lawyers, must uphold.
