Vancouver Lawyers

The legal landscape in Vancouver

Vancouver's legal work runs primarily through the Supreme Court of British Columbia at 800 Smithe Street and the Provincial Court at 222 Main Street; the BC Court of Appeal shares the Smithe Street courthouse. Every practising lawyer in the province is regulated by the Law Society of British Columbia — a directory search on the LSBC website will confirm any lawyer's status, discipline history, and area of practice. For those who can't afford a lawyer, Legal Aid BC offers coverage on family, criminal, and immigration matters, and the Access Pro Bono clinics run free 30-minute consultations across the Lower Mainland.
