Unbundled Legal Services Lawyers in Ontario

Author: Deepa Tailor

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

Legal matters don’t always require full representation. Sometimes, you just need help with a specific part of your case—at a price you can control. At Tailor Law, our experienced family lawyers offer unbundled legal services to clients in Mississauga, Toronto, and the GTA. Get the support you need, when you need it, and only pay for the services you use.

Unbundled legal services in Ontario (also called “limited scope retainers”) let you hire a lawyer for just part of your case. You choose the specific tasks—such as document drafting, legal advice, or court appearances—while handling the rest yourself. Tailor Law’s lawyers provide flexible, affordable support tailored to your needs and budget.

Unbundled legal services allow you to break down your legal matter into manageable pieces. Instead of hiring a lawyer for your entire case, you pay only for the help you need.

Why Unbundled Services Matter

  • Affordable: Control costs by paying only for specific services.
  • Flexible: Get professional support for the most challenging or technical parts of your case.
  • Empowering: Stay involved and in control of your legal matter.
  • Accessible: Ideal for clients who want guidance but can’t commit to full representation.

How Unbundled Legal Services Work in Ontario

  • Task Selection: Choose the legal tasks you need help with—advice, document review, drafting, negotiation, or court appearances.
  • Limited Scope Retainer: Sign an agreement that clearly defines what your lawyer will and won’t do.
  • Collaboration: Work alongside your lawyer, handling some aspects yourself while getting professional support for others.
  • Transparent Fees: Know exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises.
