TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The volunteers on the Pro Bono list have no connection with the SDRCC. They are neither employees nor agents of the SDRCC. They are professionals acting in their own name.

The SDRCC is not responsible to verify that the volunteers on the Pro Bono list have maintained their credentials to practice law in Canada or have retained proper liability insurance. It is therefore the responsibility of each party wishing to engage the services of any volunteer on the Pro Bono list to make the necessary verifications.

The volunteers on the Pro Bono list are responsible for keeping their resumes and contact information on the SDRCC website up to date.

The volunteers on the Pro Bono list have the discretion to refuse any potential case without justification. They may also require that a financial means test be conducted prior to assisting any party.

The SDRCC will not be held liable for any action, error or omission, advice, counsel or service provided by any of the legal representatives listed on this page.

I accept the above terms and conditions

In addition to the List of Legal Representatives found below, the SDRCC website now features its new Pro Bono Program.

"NEW" SDRCC Pro Bono Program

The SDRCC Pro Bono Program is intended to facilitate the access to free legal advice and services to unrepresented parties involved in disputes before the SDRCC. The volunteers on this list have come forward to the SDRCC to offer the following services at no cost:

  • summary advice;
  • representation at mediation or arbitration;
  • procedural information; and
  • form completion assistance.

To access the list of volunteers who have accepted to provide such services and to learn more on the terms and conditions of the Pro Bono Program, click here.

List of Legal Representatives

The List of Legal Representatives was created to provide members of the Canadian sport community with the names and contact information of legal advisors working in the field of sport law in Canada.

The legal advisors listed on this page have special expertise in amateur sport law in Canada, as you will see when you read their resume. They will be able to assist you if you have any questions regarding your rights and obligations as a member of the Canadian sport community.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The legal advisors listed below have no connection with the SDRCC. They are neither employees nor agents of the SDRCC.
  • This list is intended for information purposes only. It is not exhaustive, and only bears the names and contact information of representatives who volunteered this information.
  • Should you contact one or several of these experts, it will be up to you to come to an agreement with them on matters of remuneration or fees to be paid for their services or advice.
