TORONTO – Paralegal is a term used in most jurisdictions to describe a non-lawyer who assists lawyers in their legal work. This is true in the United States and many other countries. However, in Ontario, Canada, paralegals are licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada, giving paralegals an independent status in this jurisdiction.

Paralegals are not the same in every country. In the United States, they are not authorized by the government or other agency to offer legal services in the same way. They are not officers of the court and are not subject to government-/court-sanctioned rules of conduct. On the other hand, in Ontario, Canada, paralegals are licensed and regulated the same way that lawyers are. This means that a paralegal license allows for the paralegal to provide permitted legal services to the public and appear before certain lower level courts and administrative tribunals.

BENEFITS TO YOU

The Province of Ontario, Canada, recently became the first jurisdiction in North America to provide for the licensing of independent paralegals. This change now allow paralegals to act as legal agents who have the ability to represent on many matters, including all Provincial Offences, work for Provincial Tribunals and Boards, as well as Summary Criminal Cases. They are not “law clerks” in the province of Ontario, Canada but rather are considered officers of the court, a formal part of the legal system.

This means that, unlike the United States and other Canadian jurisdictions, a paralegal license allows a paralegal to independently represent you in provincial offences court, summary conviction criminal court, small claims court and administrative tribunals such as the Financial Services Commission of Ontario or the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. By offering Paralegals the right to practice independent of lawyers, and also work alongside lawyers in areas of practice that are only permitted to be practiced by lawyers, you the consumer, have more options to hire the best legal representative at an affordable rate.

You are no longer restricted to paying the inflated rates of a lawyer for matters that paralegals are licensed to perform. This change is especially beneficial for businesses that require legal representation in the Province of Ontario or foreigners that wish to emigrate to Canada.

From copyright theft to domain name disputes, and from counterfeit property issues to licensing and franchising agreements, we are able to help protect you, and support you when there is any form of dispute, disagreement or challenge under intellectual property law.

Increasing intellectual property rights are a more regular occurrence than other property rights, since so much more business is data driven or content driven.

Court orders mediation for dispute resolution in Hong Kong, OLN law firm is set for the task.

Hong Kong, May 26, 2010 – A growing number of families are seeking mediation in Hong Kong, either voluntarily or as a result of court-ordered mediation. Mediation in Hong Kong can be an effective alternative dispute resolution method, but family mediation can also be extremely difficult, and almost certainly one of the toughest experiences for most families.

OLN have over 23 years experience in Hong Kong and Shanghai helping families deal with difficult situations, offering family dispute resolution services and family mediation, whether as a result of child maintenance and custody arrangements, family breakdown or divorce settlements, OLN can provide a supportive, understanding and fair approach that ensures you are dealt with on a case by case basis taking the full circumstances into consideration. Whether or not children are involved family mediation and alternative dispute resolution can be hard, but when children are involved both the tension and the stakes can be very high. This often results in people making rash judgements, quick decisions and looking at short term successes rather than long term resolutions and solutions.

OLN law has widespread experience helping families in a variety of difficult situations come to terms with the facts and work together towards a successful and mutually acceptable long term resolution. Sometimes family mediation as an alternative dispute resolution results in a family becoming stronger, more harmonious and better equipped to deal with potential issues that might arise in the future. sadly in many other cases no resolution is possible apart from agreeing how any future arrangements are to be handled. Whatever your needs and whatever the circumstances OLN will be able to provide effective and fair family mediation for the long term.

Dery & Associates is a Montreal based immigration law firm that has recently made major changes in an effort to upgrade their site Candim.com.  After months of extensive research and development, they have officially launched their new website. Already established as one of the top Canadian Immigration law firms they have made their site faster, made major design upgrades as well as significant improvements to their visa assessment procedure.

“We have worked with a team of professionals to come up with a design and interface which is cutting edge in terms of design and functionality.  In today’s world, we wanted to make sure that we were leaders and not followers when it came to establishing an online presence. We want to emphasize direct contact with the clients and personalized service while balancing the many advantages of internet technology.  Our new site allows for that in a way they won’t find with any other firm.” says Renaud Dery, managing partner. He goes on to explain that the way the industry is setup at the moment, most Canadian immigration websites are not using the internet to its fullest potential.  With their new site, they’ve simplified things to the point where viewers don’t have to be tech savvy to find what they’re looking for and fill out their visa assessment.

The assessment forms cover each of the major Canadian immigration visas.  Users will receive information about all of them in a simple yet detailed manner before being brought to the assessment most appropriate to their situation. “We have lawyers on standby ready to answer questions and help people through their process; we hold their hand the entire way through which is something most law firms could not promise.” says executive director Richard Dery.  He goes onto explain that viewers have the ability to fill out a visa assessment form for free which will then be sent to a lawyer who will personally review their information.

With the growing number of people immigrating to Canada, Canadim has taken steps to further establish themselves as not only one of the top Canadian Immigration law firms, but also one of the most technologically integrated by maximizing the use of the internet thus making the process faster, cheaper and much easier. Not only that, but their site is constantly upgrading in response to the changing habits of the viewers as well as the changing laws.  “This is the third generation of the site, we learned from experience that what people are looking for is personalized service.  Our new business model allows for potential clients to get well informed through the site, submit an assessment, and then get real life personalized service from an immigration lawyer. We’re ready to serve them in a professional and cost effective manner.”

Blackpool, UK ( PressReleaseRoom ) July 22, 2009 – “The payment protection insurance was originally launched to manage a person’s debts in case he/ she is not able to settle them due to some unexpected situations such as accidents, illness, or even sudden unexpected loss of job. This payment protection insurance is very promising as it ensures to manage all your utility bills, credit card payments and the other debts you have. The PPI actually reveals the burden of maintaining your finances at times of emergency. Thus PPI seems to be a very good initiative that helps the people of UK not to end up in a financial crisis. Unfortunately the savvy insurance marketers have driven the payment protection insurance initiative to a wrong direction. With the payment protection insurance headed to a wrong direction, an initiative started for the welfare of mankind has become one of the greatest problems in the UK” says Mr. Andrew Smythe of RealClaims

Speaking on more details about the mis-sold payment protection insurance, Mr. Andrew Smythe said, “People of UK should always remember the fact that the payment protection insurance is not mandatory anywhere. The savvy insurance marketers just spread out wrong information that the payment protection insurance is a must to get credit. The true fact is that the payment protection insurance has nothing to do with getting credit from any of the sources. This is one of the main tricks used by the payment protection insurance service providers to attract the people of UK to signup for their insurance plans.” Does this mean that PPI is not necessary for anyone? “For the moment of truth there are some good PPI services that can benefit you. All you have to is to identify your requirement and signup for the plan you like, rather than getting the advice of the payment protection insurance service provider.”

Speaking on the move, Mr. Andrew Smythe said, “There is nothing to worry if some savvy insurance marketing professionals has successfully mis-sold a PPI to anyone in UK. We help the people of UK to get a full refund from the insurance service provider. We have succeeded in getting a full refund for every claim that has done through us.”

The legal needs of low-income persons are basic to survival. Fundamental legal rights need to be enforced as they relate to such basic necessities as nutrition, health, shelter, income, education and protection from violent physical abuse. The cases in which these concerns arise involve sophisticated issues of law, complicated governmental regulations, difficult issues of federalism, and consumer law rules turning on obscure precedents. Appeals, written arguments and extensive discovery are often required. In most of these instances low-income persons are unable to recognize the legal issues involved, institute litigation, or assert the appropriate defenses. Nor do they possess the skills needed to develop facts, argue law, negotiate settlements, or prepare pleadings.

Immigration Law
Immigration law is a very complex area of law which deals mainly with non-U.S. citizens who want to enter and/or remain in the United States for various purposes. Immigration law is very complex because it is fact-specific and the rules and regulations may or may not apply to a particular person depending on the circumstances of his orher individual case. Failure to comply with immigration laws can carry harsh consequences, so it is recommended that you consult a professional before filing a document or contacting the immigration authorities.

Real Estate Law
On the financial side, real estate lawyers operate similarly to corporate transactional and securities lawyers. While real estate attorneys can work on either residential (homes & apartments) or commercial (office towers, hotels and shopping centers) real estate, the underlying purpose is the same. In both cases attorneys, depending the stage of the process they are in, will help secure, negotiate and draft agreements relating to the temporary or long-term financing of the construction of the asset. Financing is accomplished by pledging the underlying real estate as security for the borrowed money (mortgage), and/or the pledging rent monies from the tenants in the development.
