Law Society of New Brunswick lawyer search.
The Law Society of New Brunswick’s public Member Directory lists practising lawyers and registered students-at-law. This page explains what it covers and what it leaves out, then links to it.
Use the official register for the answer: the Law Society of New Brunswick’s own listing is the authoritative record, and this page cannot confirm anyone’s licence or standing. Open the register below, compare the details with the person who contacted you, and confirm with the regulator if anything does not match.
What the LSNB register shows and how to search it
What the regulator says its register shows:
- The directory lists practising lawyers and registered students-at-law; it does not include non-practising, retired, suspended, disbarred or former members.
- The Law Society FAQ says it provides the addresses of practising lawyers and the current member status and insurance status of lawyers.
- Filters for “Has conditions” and “Disciplinary history” appear on the results.
How the register is searched:
- Name, firm or organization, location, area of practice, gender pronouns and languages.
- The FAQ describes finding a lawyer by name or by region.

Why check a lawyer in New Brunswick before you hire or pay
Confirming that a person claiming to be a lawyer is on the regulator’s register is a basic step before paying a retainer or acting on a demand letter. Impersonation of lawyers is a known scam pattern, and a name or number that looks plausible tells you nothing; only the register is evidence.
Limits to keep in mind
- Because the directory excludes non-practising, retired, suspended, disbarred and former members, a missing listing does not by itself say why; contact the Law Society to confirm.
- The Law Society says it does not record or endorse a lawyer’s specialty, does not offer a lawyer referral service, and the directory will not tell you what types of files a lawyer accepts.
