Work With the HCLS Platform
A Modern Network for the Modern Lawyer
You shouldn't have to choose between a thriving legal career and a fulfilling life. HCLS is more than a law firm; we are a curated network of independent lawyers who believe that the best legal work happens when you have the freedom to work on your own terms.
Whether you are a seasoned counsel seeking autonomy or a new lawyer looking to launch your practice with support, we provide the infrastructure, community, and clients you need to succeed through the HCLS Platform. We handle the business of law so you can focus on the practice of law—and the people you help.
The Home Advantage - Practice on Your Terms
We embrace a "Home Team" philosophy. By operating as a digital-first network, we give you the freedom to work from where you feel most productive—whether that’s at home, the office, or a cottage.
But independence doesn't mean isolation. You will be part of a vibrant network that connects regularly through virtual meet-ups and in-person gatherings. And for those times when a face-to-face meeting is best, you have on-demand access to our first-class office spaces in Ottawa. It’s the best of big-firm resources with the agility of a solo practice.
