The Federation of Ontario Law Associations (FOLA), is an organization that represents the associations and members of the 46 local law associations across Ontario. Together with our associate member, The Toronto Lawyers Association, we represent approximately 12,000 lawyers, most of who are in private practice in firms across the province. These lawyers are on the front lines of the justice system and see its triumphs and shortcomings every day.

We encourage you to engage with us in a dialogue on how to make our justice system even better.  

Chaired by Mike Winward, a partner with Mackesy Smye LLP (Hamilton, ON), our 2018-2020 Executive consists of 14 lawyers from all over Ontario, including 7 regional chairs and 4 committee chairs.  

For more information, please here or visit our About Us section.

Our Executive meets monthly and 2x per year our 47 Association Presidents and members of their executives convene at FOLA's biannual plenaries.

For more information on our Associations, please visit us here.

From backgrounders and updates to Submissions to the Law Society of Ontario and the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario to public advocacy communications, we have lots of information to keep you up to date on the issues and concerns facing lawyers in Ontario.
