Saskatchewan bill would bring routine legal agents under oversight

Saskatchewan has introduced The Legal Profession Amendment Act, 2026. If passed, it would:

• Require agents who routinely provide legal services and represent clients in courts or tribunals to meet requirements set under the Act.
• Give the Law Society of Saskatchewan authority to oversee these agents.
• Create a process for health or capacity concerns that affect a legal service provider’s ability to practise, separate from disciplinary proceedings where appropriate.

The proposed changes do not alter the rules for limited licensees.
