Lisa Bildy graduated from Western Law School in 1993. She practiced as a trial lawyer with a small litigation firm before an unexpected hiatus to raise and homeschool her sons. Taking the road less travelled seems to have served her well. On her return to the full-time practice of law, she challenged the Law Society of Ontario's compelled Statement of Principles. Believing it was not for a regulator to dictate lawyers’ personal principles, she led a successful campaign, known as StopSOP, to elect to the law society a slate of lawyers who were committed to repealing this new requirement. She then worked at the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms as a staff lawyer, beginning in 2019, before striking out on her own in the fall of 2021 to further the cause of defending civil liberties and individual freedoms in Canada.
Lisa is a member of the Board of Advisors of FAIR, the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, and is an elected bencher (governor) of the Law Society of Ontario.
