You can choose to search the complete list of names in the directory or only the lawyer listings or paralegal listings. You can also narrow your results by performing an Advanced Search where you can search by name (first or last), Law Society Number, postal code, city or any combination of these. You can also search for lawyers and paralegals who offer legal services in French, who can communicate in languages other than English or French, or based on the area(s) of law/legal services they provide.

If you choose to find lawyers and/or paralegals based on location, you can do a proximity search by address and the results will include the nearest licensees to the location you entered, within a 10km radius. The results of a proximity search by address can further be filtered by distance up to a maximum distance of 25km.

If you receive too many results, or if no results are found, you may need to revise your search criteria. Consider completing fewer fields or checking your spelling/punctuation.

Results for area(s) of law/legal services and unbundling are only displayed for licensees in private practice who have chosen to display this information.

This directory includes the names of some former licensees of the Law Society. These include lawyers and paralegals who have surrendered their licence at their own request, as well as those whose licences have been revoked or surrendered for regulatory reasons. Information about former lawyers and paralegals is included in the directory for three years.

NOTE: If you are looking for information or documents from the files of a lawyer or paralegal who has retired, abandoned their practice, been suspended, had their licence revoked or otherwise stopped providing legal services, Trustee Services may be able to help you. Visit lso.ca/wills-files for information on how and where to search for legal documents in Ontario and access to the Law Society’s online inquiry form.
