The Law Society has opened the innovation sandbox to six proposals for providing legal advice and assistance to legal consumers in British Columbia. The approved proposals are:
Service providers in the innovation sandbox will be monitored by the Law Society through a regular reporting requirement and will provide their services in accordance with a “no-action” letter setting out conditions under which they must operate.
In addition to accepting these providers into the innovation sandbox, the Law Society has received several more proposals that are under consideration and anticipates making further announcements. Individuals, businesses and law firms with ideas for the delivery of innovative legal services that may require relaxing current regulatory requirements are invited to submit a proposal for consideration by the Law Society.
To find out more, or to submit an application, visit the Innovation Sandbox initiative on the Law Society’s website.
