Enhance Employee Referral Process with eSignature Lawfulness in Canada

How to eSign a document: e-signature lawfulness for Employee Referral in Canada

all right in this video i'm going to talk about the law society of upper canada's lawyer and paralegal referral program you can find it here on the website uh you have two options either on the right side or the left side and then you're going to want to click on the left here where it says law society referral service not on the paralegal directory so this is what you're going to see when you click on the referral service they also have an 800 number i will post that at the end of this video so you're going to request a referral and i uh filled out yes here it is i filled out a form for you to see what it's going to look like to continue on i'm going to click here on the requesting a lawyer and then you're going to be required to talk about what jurisdiction what location if you need anybody that has you know that offers special uh special services i i note on there it said limited scope retainers i'll talk about that in another video i selected civil and a civil lawyer and with all that information it pops out a name now what happens is with this name this person is it's mandatory for this person to meet with me for up to 30 minutes either by phone or in person and they have up to three days to respond to you and if by the fourth day they haven't responded then they're probably going to get a slap on the wrist actually they're probably going to get taken off the list because all of this is voluntary these lawyers are looking for referrals they are looking for people to contact them so they put their name into this system some lawyers i know don't put their name into the system they you know don't bother to advertise like this this is just a mechanism for advertising but it's it's connecting and they will listen to your case they will consult with you they most likely won't give you give you any legal advice in this 30-minute period of time and if they do they might even end up charging you but it's supposed to be a free consultation and a lawyer won't charge you for this consultation it's free they'll tell you if they'll take on your case by the end of the consultation most likely and then i recommend and we recommend as a society to get at least three consultations under your belt before you commit to one of these lawyers um it may be that you you know one lawyer the first lawyer wants to take on your case maybe give it two more consultations to to figure out if you fit or jail with another lawyer or paralegal better than that first person may also be that you know there's some issues that they're uh that may may need to be overcome for instance money you know one lawyer may be asking for two thousand for a retainer another lawyer may be asking for ten thousand that's that's why it's good to see what the range is out there to see what the uh to see with those three consultations bring in anyways this is separate and aside from our referral service on our website um our referral service deals primarily with lawyers who offer limited scope retainers or what's called unbundled services and the lawyers that you're going to find on our website and under our referral service are lawyers that identify with self-represented litigants and supporting them so good luck in searching uh hopefully this was of some assistance to you if you have questions comment below or send a private message through our website irepmyself.com thanks
