The 2021-2022 LIANS Insurance Levy was approved by LIANS’ Board of Directors on April 20, 2021.
The net levy for the policy year commencing July 1, 2021 is $1,944 for each full practising Member, $972 for Nova Scotia Legal Aid lawyers and $350 for Nova Scotia government lawyers. In the case of full practicing lawyers, this represents an 8.2% reduction from last year.
In addition, the Board of Directors has approved a further $100 credit for eligible full practicing lawyers. To be eligible to receive this credit, the lawyer:
(i) has to have been a Member of the Society at the start of the current insurance Policy Period (July 1, 2020) with either full practicing or non-practicing status at that time; and
(ii) be either full practicing at the start of the upcoming renewal Policy Period commencing July 1, 2021 or, if non-practicing at that time, return to full time practice during the renewal policy period commencing July 1, 2021.
For those eligible to receive it, this additional credit will be reflected on your upcoming Society fee invoice.
