Can Someone Give Me Some Labour Related Legal Advice?
I work for a company that closes in December, is that considered my annual leave? Or according to the law can I still take leave on top of that? And when I resign, must my employer pay me out for leave not taken?
Can A Lawyer In Ontario Help A Friend Sue Someone On His Own Time?
My friend is being threatened with court from her ex’s lawyer, who happens to be his old friend from school. The lawyer is using his personal email for their exchanges, even though he works for a law firm. It’s obvious he’s doing this work for free on behalf of his “friend”. Shouldn’t he be using his work email address for his threats? Or do you think he’s afraid of his bosses finding out what he’s doing?
Does Graduating From Law School Make You A Lawyer And Can You Offer Legal Advice To Someone In Another State?
I asked a family member who recently graduated from law school to review and negotiate a contract for me. She did so. She has not taken the bar exam in her state nor in my state, I signed this contract thinking she was already an attorney simply because she graduated from law school, but now I find out she’s not fully an attorney yet.
The law regarding this type of contract states that a attorney is to review it on my behalf, and now the other parties to this contract are refusing to invalidate the contract.
Is she allowed to give me legal advice and help negotiate a contract for me although she may not fully be a lawyer and is that contract valid, now that it has been signed, etc. Or is it no longer enforceable.
