British Columbia Legal Services

BC does not require a paralegal license for most of what we do. We do it well, for less.

British Columbia's Legal Profession Act permits non-lawyers to provide many legal services that Ontario tightly licenses. Voss Advisory works in that unregulated practice lane: document preparation, family law support, settlement drafting, case strategy, and procedural navigation. Across BC, by email and video, flat fees only.

BC operates differently than Ontario. The Law Society of BC regulates lawyers, not paralegals. Many services that require a licensed paralegal in Ontario can be provided by non-lawyers in BC where no court appearance is involved.

Common questions

Is this licensed legal advice?

No. Voss Advisory Group is not a law firm in British Columbia and does not provide legal advice within the meaning of the BC Legal Profession Act. We provide document preparation, case strategy consultation, and procedural support. For court representation or matters that require a member of the Law Society of British Columbia, we refer.

Why is this legal in BC but not Ontario?

The Law Society of BC primarily regulates lawyers. The unauthorized practice of law in BC is narrower than in Ontario. Non-lawyers in BC may provide many forms of document preparation and consultation that Ontario's by-law 4 reserves to licensed paralegals.

Do you appear in BC court?

No. We do not represent parties before BC courts, tribunals, or hearings. We prepare the documents and strategy for the matter. The party files and represents themselves, or retains a BC lawyer where representation is required.

What if I live outside BC?

If the matter is governed by BC law (BC contract, BC family, BC employment), we can prepare documents from anywhere. If it requires court appearance, you would still need a BC lawyer to appear.

How fast?
