Lawkin intake triage
I need an employment contract for my startup's first hire in Ontario.
Based on your answers, this looks like an Employment & HR matter with medium urgency. Here's a plain-language summary and a document checklist to prepare.
This is legal information, not legal advice. A licensed lawyer must review your matter.
Time-sensitive
Something that can't wait?
Send an urgent request and it goes out immediately to every verified professional matching your practice area and province. The first to accept takes it — no waiting on a queue.
How Lawkin works

What “verified” means here
Our directory contains two different things, and we label which is which on every listing. We would rather show you a smaller number of checked professionals than imply we have checked everybody.
- Licence status is copied word for word from the regulator, never summarised
- Every listing records the register it came from and the date it was collected
- Your intake stays private until you choose to request quotes
Verified by Lawkin
Licence checked with the regulator
We confirmed this person's licence and standing. Only verified professionals are matched to intakes, receive quote requests, or can be booked.
Unclaimed listing
Copied from a public register
Published by a regulator, reproduced here as-is. Nobody has claimed it and Lawkin has not verified it. These are excluded from matching, quotes and booking — they are here so you can find someone and check them yourself.
Lawkin is a platform connecting businesses with independent legal professionals. Lawkin is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Not everyone listed is a lawyer — each listing states what the person is licensed as.
