National Canadian Lawyers' Initiative

There is no facet of our society that COVID-19 has left untouched. The pandemic is threatening our lives, our culture, the arts, our businesses, and the economy which supports us all. Thousands of Canadians urgently need immediate legal help. Small business owners, freelancers, trades workers, farmers, artists, and professionals are struggling. People need legal support, expert direction, and reliable guidance. People need help with reneged or about to be broken contracts, leases, loans, mortgages, lapsed or pending permits, employment rights, and a myriad of complex legal obligations. The list is endless. That’s why we’re calling on you to urgently help us fund and launch a Canada-wide not-for-profit National Canadian Lawyers Initiative, which seeks to provide free legal advice and law services to those most in need as a result of the pandemic and economic shut down.
