Background
Goodlawyer is the only all-in-one platform that offers smart, easy, and cost-effective solutions for Canada’s top independent (and boutique-firm) lawyers to operate and grow a practice. Unlike traditional independent practice models that require you to manage the demands of running a business while trying to provide high-quality legal services to your clients, Goodlawyer offers software tools, customer-support resources and vetted client acquisition opportunities, enabling you to focus on legal work and better serve your clients.
But we’re so much more than that.
To our clients, Goodlawyer is a platform for fast-growing businesses that need reliable legal services at a better price. They see us as a smart alternative to monstrous hourly rates and traditional corporate law firms. They choose us for our commitment to fair and transparent fee arrangements and for our network of conscientious legal experts — you.
More than any aspect of our business, the heart of a client’s Goodlawyer experience — our heart — is you, the lawyer. You are skilled, smart, business-savvy, and steadfast in working hard for your clients. You are reimagining what it means to be a good lawyer and to serve clients in a digital future. You chose Goodlawyer for a good time and a long time. We’re excited to welcome you to Goodlawyer and so is the rest of our community.
We all have a role in growing our respective businesses and those of our clients. For everyone to succeed in their roles with Goodlawyer, we require consistency in how we act, work, and make magic happen together.
That’s why we’ve developed our Rules of Play and our Lawyer Code of Conduct. The Rules of Play establish the general principles and values we expect lawyers to uphold, and the Lawyer Code of Conduct gets granular with the types of conduct we want to foster and the types of conduct we won’t tolerate. Think of it like the “do’s and don’ts” of being part of the Goodlawyer community.
