Legal Support Services

 
 

All full-time undergraduate students at York have access to a lawyer who can advise and assist them with virtually any legal problem, at no cost.

Our legal services can help you with family and criminal law, debt issues, landlord and tenant conflicts, corporate law, real estate, intellectual property issues, immigration and problems with government agencies.

Legal advice is provided by William (Bill) Reid, who holds both an MBA as well as a law degree, and has been practicing law and counseling students for over ten years. In addition to the services mentioned above, he is also available to explain legal procedures and documents to students using the services of another lawyer.

Bill can be reached by email each business day, at legal@yfs.ca. Consultations are generally conducted via email, however in-person appointments can be arranged when necessary, for example to notarize documents.
