Background
Lisa D.S. Bildy attended Western University, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1986 and a law degree in 1993. Bildy was called to the Ontario bar in 1995.
From 1993 to 2000 Bildy worked as a personal injury lawyer at Seabrook, Epstein, Ste. Marie & Miller. Bildy left practicing law in 2008 to homeschool children. Upon return in 2017, Bildy successfully challenged the Law Society of Ontario’s rules requiring lawyers sign a Statement of Principles.
