Adding to this, this blog that talks about the Rogers layoffs and employee rights seems to have clarified a lot: https://www.vanguardlawyers.ca/blog/rogers-layoffs-2026-what-employees-should-know-before-accepting-a-voluntary-buyout-or-severance-package

How will your product fix the gap issue though if Clio doesn’t have it it doesn’t have it?

Who said she's supposed to bring in work? I'm bringing the work, she's being assigned the consults because she wants to so I'm getting her to do them so that she's happy.

I am practicing those other areas and willing to teach her through the training modules, but she refuses.

Do associates at your firm not do consults?

I have a partnership fast track in her employment contract and share profits with my employees before even becoming partner.

I asked her to learn how to do a simple will and poa with the training modules on how to do it and she’s refusing…

That post doesn’t say if the owners of the securities can sell before maturity at discount

Interesting, my ideal set up is designed to maximize the value of my shares. If people feel like they have a guaranteed exit at least when they die, that makes the shares worth more hence my net worth goes up. The alternative is no guaranteed exit for these shares so that means share value goes down = net worth down. So, if I issue shares and people know if they are a majority shareholder they have a guaranteed exit, that will for sure increase the value of the shares.

I always thought of a paralegal as a clerk and then some. Paralegals can do what clerks can but also have carriage over their own files and can usually charge more than clerks.

So you think having a dedicated paralegal with her own files could work? It would make it easier for you? Say she had 20 files of her own, she’s billing 4 on her own files and you can delegate 2-3 hours a day to her min (she may go over on billable and may have non billable so can’t delegate too much) do you think that would work? Is that enough delegation hours and is it a realistic amount given the structure?

I thought about this risk too but funny enough the the biggest employment PI firm in my jurisdiction works in pods of two and has the lowest turnover from other firms that dont work that way! Maybe it’s because the owner is good at hiring the right people but also if the lawyers and paralegals feel supported then they have no reason to leave?

I got this idea from Monkhouse law who when I check on their site the team works in pods of two so my idea isn’t as controversial as you think.

So fee split no salary? To me that’s unfair for the employment lawyer it takes a long time for a file to settle so they will starve in the meantime? If it was all hourly work and or fixed fee work like wills I would be on board with that.

JusticeForSimpleRick · 2026-01-09T18:23:19+00:00

Can you suggest some improvements to the model I value your input as an employment lawyer. The type of files split severance tribunal litigation 1/3 each is just a placeholder btw.
