The Kre8tive Law Group Launches First DirectLaw Virtual Law Firm in Canada
The Kre8tive Law Group, managed by Solicitor Andrea Riccio in Calgary, Alberta, has become Canada's first virtual law firm using DirectLaw's virtual law firm platform. The firm offers "unbundled legal services" to both individual and small business clients.
Clients can:
-
buy completed legal documents together with legal advice
-
pay for legal advice at a fixed price
-
communicate with a lawyer on a secure basis
-
upload documents received from other parties for our review
-
archive copies of their completed documents
Solicitor Riccio said that he thought that it was important to provide a virtual law firm presence for web savvy clients and clients who wanted to work with their law firm over the Internet. Riccio said that "our fixed price approach is appealing to clients who want to be able to control their legal expenses."
Kre8tive Law Group was founded in 1994. Andrea was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 1990 and practiced for a Bay Street firm in Toronto, Canada, working primarily on commercial real estate transactions, eventually becoming a partner of the firm. He was called to the Alberta Bar in 1994 and gained extensive experience in a broad range of corporate and commercial matters through his association with a local Calgary firm. His belief that "better people make better lawyers" led him to found Riccio Law. He also provides pro bono legal services to numerous non-profit organizations including the Italian-Canadian community at a local, regional and national level. He previously served as a national director of the National Congress of Italian-Canadians Foundation and President of the Calgary Italian Club.
