LAWPRO has announced that it will not be sending notices or following up on the collection of any delinquent accounts or missed filings (quarterly real estate and litigation transaction filings, unpaid premiums, or deductibles, etc.). Those wishing to stop automatic monthly or quarterly billing have the option to do so up until June 1. Please email service@lawpro.ca to do this.
In addition, they are recommending that any licensee who will not practising for personal, medical or other reasons – on a temporary basis of a minimum of 30 days – to consider applying for exemption from payment of premiums.
LAWPRO will also consider any remote commissioning and verification of identity done as part of a broader legal retainer to be covered professional services, in keeping with the LSO’s relaxation of rules.
