How Does The CLO Program Work?

We have various options available to suit your unique needs.

Quite often, you may have a question or two on how to deal with a day-to-day issue that presents itself, which at times may take only 10 minutes. Without having a go-to lawyer that can respond the same day. You may decide to make a decision that opens you up to liability instead of seeking legal advice –to avoid high legal fees.

The CLO Program allows you to feel confident that you have an employment lawyer ready, and on deck, to help with any questions throughout the year. That you don’t need to open yourself up to liability and can seek legal advice when you truly need it.

Monique Crichton

I had a consultation with an employment lawyer and it went so well. Leading up to the meeting the clerk was responsive, informative and helpful; not to mention very polite. When I had the opportunity to sit with the lawyer she was friendly, attentive, and very well educated. She gave me honest answers to all my questions and provided me with all my options very clearly. It was a pleasure to talk with her and it made me feel a lot better about my situation. She calmed me down and made me feel heard and that I am not alone.I would recommend them to others.

Initially, when I had the opportunity to speak with Charles Millar. I was impressed. I consider him a "man of refreshing candour", knowledge, and kindness. I have been dealing with Charles now for several months. He follows up in a timely manner. He's been on point with his recommendations; I feel very confident that his action plans are very well thought out and structured. It has been a pleasure consulting with him. I will be recommending him to friends and family. True professionals like Charles are definitely hard to come by.Thank you.

The whole team, from the start with Rachel and Charles to the conclusion of the hard work and success by Natalie was very positive. I have never been in a situation of constructive dismissal or without a job. They were an outstanding resource and well worth it. I hope they continue to expand their business and hopefully come out west. I would certainly recommend this company and particularly Natalie.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris regarding a severance package. He was thorough, asked great questions, and made sure things I hadn't thought about were covered and that I was being treated fairly.

He clearly cares about people and that value came through in our conversations which I appreciated.

My first consultation meeting with associate lawyer Mariel was very positive and helpful.
