All BC lawyers are members of the Law Society of BC and membership is required to be eligible to practise law.
In BC there are over 10,000 lawyers. Most are in private practice, working in law firms of all sizes and offering legal services to the public in diverse areas, ranging from real estate law, corporate law, family law and criminal law. Other lawyers provide legal services exclusively for a company, society or union or for government, such as Crown Counsel on behalf of the Ministry of Attorney General. There are still other lawyers who opt not to practise law, but find their legal training invaluable in business and other endeavors.
The legal profession is a helping profession, and lawyers are dedicated to serving their clients. They play a critical role as advisors to clients in making agreements and solving legal problems. Lawyers have the expertise to sift through facts, recognize legal issues, analyze the law and recommend a course of action that best meets client needs. They demonstrate concern, objectivity and fairness. As professionals and as officers of the court, lawyers must adhere to high ethical standards in carrying out their work.
