The Federation of Ontario Law Associations (FOLA) is urging the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) to exercise caution in its review of contingency fee agreements.
Jaye Hooper, FOLA’s chair, says the federation supports the concept of a mandatory, easily understood contingency fee agreement (CFA), but has a number of concerns about some recommendations a law society working group made to their colleagues in Convocation on the issue.
