As the client, you will decide the general direction of your legal action. We are the lawyers who represent you, and our job is to provide you with the best legal advice and inform you of the different options available to you so you can make the best decision based upon the facts – not on conjecture.
We will usually make a recommendation, but the final decision will be yours and yours alone. We will then provide legal services to carry out your instructions to the best of our abilities.
However, you should be aware, we cannot accept instructions that conflict with our duties to the courts, the legal profession, or the public. The Code of Conduct of the Law Society of British Columbia sets out clear standards we, as lawyers, are to meet. If you have any questions about the Code of Conduct, please don’t hesitate to ask.
