Lombard Law

About Lombard Law

Lombard Law is based in Deseronto, Ontario, with additional offices in Ottawa and at Elsipogtog First Nation, New Brunswick. It's run by lawyer Alisa Lombard, whose practice centers on the civil, constitutional and human rights of Indigenous people. On its website, the firm describes working alongside other professionals to provide client focused legal services aimed at fairness, safety and reform for the people it represents.

Lombard previously practiced at Maurice Law, described as Canada's first national Indigenous owned law firm. There, Lombard led a proposed class action filed in 2018 on behalf of Indigenous women who said they'd been coerced into sterilization at hospitals in several provinces, and took the issue to the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva. Lombard later served as counsel for the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) when it intervened before the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Sharma in 2022, a case about conditional sentencing and Indigenous over incarceration. Lombard is a member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan.
