The HCLS experience.
Members practice independently, supported by shared technology and resources. Your lawyer is responsible for your legal work and the approach you agree on together.
About our modelIndependent by structure.
Members of the HCLS Network are independent contractors, not employees, associates or agents of HCLS. They practice independently through the HCLS Platform and are not part of an association for the joint practice of law. Each lawyer is responsible for their own work, business activities and any non-licensees they engage.
HCLS provides a platform and directory for independent professionals. Membership does not create a partnership or a joint practice of law.
