In-house counsel for Businesses and Legal Teams

About Simplex

Simplex offers cost-effective legal advice and interim support for businesses and legal departments. We offer clients the freedom to choose how they engage our firm while providing our diverse legal talent with challenging work for sophisticated clients without sacrificing flexibility or control.

Our lawyers have benefited from the training and experience that “big law” provides and most have spent time in an in-house legal department. They are self-motivated, use plain language, offer practical business advice and are comfortable working remotely and on-site.

Our People

While some of our processes may be automated, our lawyers are not. It’s why we care so deeply about helping our clients solve their legal challenges.

Practical,
Business Oriented

We have designed automated systems and A.I. tools to perform more tasks, faster and at lesser cost. That way, we can also free up time so our best legal minds can focus on giving high-value legal advice to power your business forward.

Cost-effective

Our firm is virtual by design with a technology-centric, in-house orientation and low-overhead model that results in lower billing rates than are customary for law firms.

Why we started Simplex

In our previous lives, we saw the challenges clients faced in the legal industry. We shared the frustration of clients and decided to do something different.

In 2012 we started with a simple plan: To build a better law practice - offering value without compromising skill, and proposing simplicity without sacrificing quality.

In November 2021, Epiq acquired Simplex Services Inc. and created an affiliation with our law firm in order to increase the overall scale of Epiq's flexible legal talent offerings and leverage Simplex’s digital-first orientation to the delivery of legal services. To learn more about Epiq, go here.

We value freedom for our lawyers to practice law on their own terms and be their authentic selves, freedom for the company to experiment and improve, and freedom for our clients to design and choose how they receive legal services.

It’s simple.
We want your business to shine.

We have lawyers located across Canada.
