Why Remotely Legal?
We help employers to free up time to do what they need to do by taking away the stress and time of dealing with people and compliance issues. We believe passionately in people having the autonomy and flexibility to do what they want, when they want, where they want to do it. That’s why we formed Remotely Legal. We are remote, so we can come to you or help you online when you need it.
​
We know that people issues can be stressful, difficult, complicated and costly. We deliver high quality employment law and strategic HR advice exclusively to employers and boards to provide peace of mind, to resolve employment relationship issues and assist to prevent them in the future.
​
We provide employment law, strategic HR and industrial relations advisory services, dispute resolution, investigation services and training on all things relating to people. From hiring to firing and from the boardroom to the basement (or on Zoom, as the case may be) - we are excited to partner with you on this journey.
