Before you book
What happens during the introductory consultation?
The introductory consultation is a focused discussion about the nature of your matter, its urgency, and whether Vanguard Law may be the right fit. It is not a complete legal opinion or ongoing free legal advice. Completing the intake form and providing the available documents beforehand helps make the conversation more useful.
How are consultations and legal services paid?
Depending on the type of matter and your answers to the consultation guide, you may be offered a free introductory consultation or a paid consultation.
Fees for work after the consultation depend on the nature and scope of the services required. Before retaining Vanguard Law, you will receive a written agreement explaining the proposed work and fees, including any applicable taxes or disbursements.
Does Vanguard Law represent both employees and employers?
Yes. Vanguard Law advises employees and employers in separate matters, subject to the required conflict checks. The firm also represents individuals and organizations in commercial disputes, including shareholders, partners, directors, and companies.
Is my information confidential?
Your answers to the online consultation guide remain in your browser and are not sent to Vanguard Law. Information submitted through the secure intake process and discussed during a consultation is handled confidentially, subject to applicable legal obligations and conflict-check requirements.
Using the website or booking a consultation does not by itself create a solicitor-client relationship.
Where does Vanguard Law provide services?
Vanguard Law provides Ontario legal services and offers video consultations. The firm has locations listed in Toronto, St. Catharines, and Oakville. Contact the firm to ask about in-person availability for a particular appointment.
Know your options. Choose your next step.
Start with a few quick questions. You will be directed to the consultation option appropriate for your matter.
Booking a consultation does not guarantee that Vanguard Law will accept your matter. Any further representation begins only after a written agreement is signed.
