Canadian legal industry

The Canadian legal industry consists of lawyers, paralegals, and legal services that support individuals, businesses, and government in navigating the law. It includes securing legal advice, drafting contracts, representing clients in courts, and resolving disputes. Regulated provincially or territorially, the industry maintains standards of professional conduct and ethics. Canada's legal system blends common law principles (except in Quebec, which follows civil law) and plays a vital role in upholding justice, protecting rights, and ensuring lawful governance across the country. It adapts to societal changes, embracing technology and new legal challenges.
