Law Society Investigation or Complaint. Where a law society commences an investigation against a lawyer or a lawyer is otherwise advised that a law society complaint has been made against them, and the complaint arises out of acts done in good faith in the performance of his/her duties, the Employer will provide assistance through counsel of the Employer’s choice. Determining counsel will include consideration of the complexity of the matter, and any potential conflicts arising from representation by counsel internal to LAO. Any concerns which the Society-represented lawyer or the Society have as to the appropriateness of the counsel assigned, including whether or not independent counsel is required, will be raised by the Society-represented lawyer in a timely manner and will be reviewed by the Employer in making its decision. Independent counsel will be remunerated at rates which shall not exceed those set by the Ministry of the Attorney General for retention of private sector counsel, or, in the alternative, the Employer will set a maximum amount to be paid at its discretion. Where the Employer has agreed to pay the cost of independent counsel, in a situation where a law society commences an investigation against a Society-represented lawyer or a lawyer is otherwise advised that a law society complaint has been made against them, the lawyer shall enter into a written retainer agreement with counsel retained by the lawyer. The form and substance of the retainer, including the terms and conditions of the agreement, shall be subject to the approval of the Employer, and any account submitted by counsel retained by the employee is subject to review and approval of the Employer.
