Welcome to the Ontario Lawyers Directory for Whistleblowers
This directory is your resource to help you find legal support. Each listing provides:
- Counsel Availability: The lawyer's name in this list indicates the lawyer is willing to consider whistleblower cases.
- Pro Bono Consult &/or Case: Shows if the lawyer offers a free initial consultation and/or will consider case representation. If a lawyer is unable to take your case on a pro bono basis, you might ask if they would consider taking your case on a contingency basis i.e. their fees will be paid from any award you may receive if you win your case. However, you would have to have a strong case that the lawyer believes is winnable, otherwise, they would not get paid. Alternatively, if you are a self-represented litigant, you could ask if they would assist you with certain agreed upon tasks from time to time as you navigate the legal system, for example, coaching, or drafting certain documents etc.
- Contact Information: Includes phone numbers and email addresses for easy communication.
- Description of practice: Includes the special area the lawyer practices in.
Grant Support from The Law Foundation of Ontario
This work has been made possible through a generous grant from The Law Foundation of Ontario. The value of this support and the importance of providing whistleblowers with the resources and legal education necessary to navigate the complexities of their cases cannot be underestimated.
