As regulator of Ontario's lawyers and paralegals, the Law Society investigates complaints and other matters where a lawyer or paralegal may have failed to meet standards of learning, professional competence and conduct.
Some matters proceed to a hearing and result in an order by a hearing or appeal panel.
The Law Society also prosecutes individuals who practise law or provide legal services directly to the public without a licence.
Information about regulatory proceedings is public and available in this section of the Law Society website.
