This special initiative provides charitable and non-profit organizations with legal services and advice. As the need arises, services and advice can be provided for a range of areas such as:

• Labour and employment law
• Administrative/human rights law
• Management responsibilities
• Real estate
• Civil litigation.

Offered jointly by United Way of Calgary and Area, the Canadian Bar Association Alberta, the Law Society of Alberta, and the Association of General Counsel of Alberta, the Volunteer Lawyer Service was established to help community organizations with limited budgets and resources.

If your organization is a non-profit or charitable agency, and can demonstrate an inability to pay any legal services (excluding acceptable disbursements), the Volunteer Lawyers Service can help.
