Seeking Legal Counsel
Anyone who is considering filing a Notification or is listed as a Respondent is advised to seek legal counsel. Legal counsel must be authorized to provide legal services in Nunavut by the Law Society of Nunavut. The Law Society of Nunavut maintains a list of lawyers who are authorized to provide legal services in Nunavut on its website. It also explains the cost and process for a lawyer from another Canadian jurisdiction to get authorized to provide legal services in Nunavut (see https://www.lawsociety.nu.ca/).
