HUMAN RESOURCE LEGAL ALLIANCE (HRLA)
As labour and employment law evolved over the past 100 years, businesses have seen their legal costs skyrocket. The Institute has closely monitored the economic challenges facing employers and has traditionally advocated a common sense and practical approach to workplace issues to keep legal expenses to a minimum.
In response to these new challenges, the Institute launched a new and unique service - Human Resource Legal Alliance (HRLA) - that provides management with unlimited access to the Institute's team of specialized labour and employment lawyers, as well as its senior human resource professionals, for a fixed monthly fee.
Historically at the forefront of advocating for management interests, the Institute established HRLA to provide employers with a cost-effective alternative to the traditional law firm "billable hours" culture. Unlike the usual "bill by the minute" practice, the Institute's HRLA team provides employers with unlimited, written and oral, real-time human resource and employment law advice, training and educational services for a flat monthly fee.
"HRLA IS A GROUNDBREAKING, INNOVATIVE, AND
COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO EMPLOYERS OF ALL SIZES."
The HRLA team is headed by two highly experienced professionals:
Charles (Chuck) D. Tahirali, Senior Human Resource Consultant
Lior Samfiru, Legal Counsel to the Institute
