For the Public

The Law Society of the Northwest Territories protects the public by making sure that the lawyers who are working in the Northwest Territories are responsible and responsive to their clients, and operate independently.

Please note the Law Society does not employ lawyers at its office. The office cannot and will not provide legal assistance or advice, or lawyer recommendations. To speak with a lawyer, please use the Find a Lawyer feature on our website to find a lawyer asking to be referred in the area of practice you require advice in, or by calling us at (867) 873-3828.
