By their nature, administrative tribunals are intended to provide specialized and more efficient access to justice; however, the legal costs associated with a case before a tribunal are far from insignificant. Whether you work for a legal clinic looking to make the most of limited resources, or in private practice, unbundled legal services provide an opportunity for you to service clients who cannot otherwise afford full representation. Build your business while improving access to justice with limited scope retainers.
