The Filipino Canadian Lawyers Network - Réseau des avocats philippino-canadiens (“FCLN-RAPC”) was established to foster connections between Filipino Canadian lawyers and legal professionals across the country.

We want to bridge the barriers between our communities. Filipinos remain severely under-represented in law and on the bench and within our communities but if we can connect with one another, we can work to increase our numbers and build better services for our clients.

We strive to provide opportunities to our members to gain exposure, develop skills, and present their knowledge to Canadians. We want to encourage students to enter into the legal profession and immigrant lawyers to become qualified in Canada.

Our goals include eliminating the barriers to entry for Filipino Canadians into the legal profession, improving diversity and inclusion in the law and legal spaces, and working for the advancement of our communities. We encourage and foster professional networking and development, entries into law practice and onto the judicial bench, advocacy, community and mentorship.
