We practice law differently. We are pushing for evolution in the legal profession, workplaces, and society. We do this by acting as an accelerator for meaningful change, being client centered, and developing innovative solutions to increase access to justice.
Inspire Law is more than a law firm. It is an accelerator for change. We wish to see a legal profession that does a better job of achieving gender equity and supports genuine mental and emotional well-being. We also press for workplaces that treat people with humanity throughout the full employment relationship, not only at termination, and that reflect true gender equity.
Approaching a lawyer for help can be a daunting experience. If you have been treated badly at work or experienced discrimination, your confidence may already be low. Our work is centred on each client’s personal situation. We want to ensure our clients are informed, supported and empowered and have the confidence to make the decisions involved in their case.
We do not just practice employment law and human rights law. Alongside legal advocacy, we are working on innovative ways to improve access to justice, so that everyone can have meaningful access to real justice. We invite bold, thoughtful ideas that move forward the legal profession, workplace equity and fairness, and access to justice.
Susan writes a weekly column which is published in the Kelowna Capital News. Slightly modified versions are also posted on this website under Publications.
