Family Law Unbundling Toolkit

Family Law Unbundling Toolkit - Courthouse Libraries BC
Includes procedures, sample documents, and links to Law Society (CLE BC) webinars. From Courthouse Libraries BC.

"Unbundling refers to a situation where lawyers perform discrete tasks for clients and clients handle other matters that, in a full service retainer, would form part of the services lawyers would provide.

This toolkit was developed to assist and guide BC family lawyers and paralegals to provide unbundled family legal services in a safe and effective way. The core documents referred to in the toolkit have been prepared with the assistance of the Law Society of British Columbia."
