Saskatchewan: limited legal license for non-lawyers

Date postedOctober 8, 2025
in Entry to Practice, Reducing Barriers to, Workforce/Access Shortage,

As of October 1, 2025, Saskatchewan has amended its Legal Profession Act to allow certain non-lawyers to hold limited licenses issued by the Law Society of Saskatchewan. These licenses permit qualified applicants to provide specific legal services in defined areas, aiming to address access to justice issues in the province. Licensed non-lawyers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure they have the required education and experience before being permitted to handle tasks such as lower-level court work (e.g. small claims, traffic, summary conviction matters), uncontested family law (e.g. separation agreements, joint/divorce, parenting arrangements), simple wills, powers of attorney, small estate administration, land title transfers, contracts, and assistance for self-represented litigants. This change does not allow non-lawyers to perform more complex legal work. The law society is working on establishing the application process, training or education requirements, oversight, and professional standards for these limited license holders. The first such licenses are expected to be available beginning January 1, 2026. The legislation emerges from work by a “Legal Services Task Team” which began in 2017, after recognizing that many residents face barriers in obtaining legal help for routine or simpler legal issues. The program is intended to be a regulated expansion of legal service providers, balancing increased access with maintaining consumer protection and quality of service.
