Frequently asked questions
What is bankruptcy in Canada?
Bankruptcy is a legal process that business owners can initiate when they are unable to pay back their creditors. It means notifying your creditors of the situation and seeking a fair resolution. The business and the business owner might have to sell some of their assets to offset your debt costs, but this is not always the case.
What is a Bankruptcy lawyer?
A bankruptcy lawyer is a supportive person who can ensure your filing for bankruptcy is fair and orderly. Their job is to help you navigate the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act to recover assets (or protect them as much as possible), advise you on alternatives to bankruptcy, help with cash flow issues, and/or discuss your options on foreclosures, liquidation, receiverships, and business restructuring/reorganization.
How do I know my lawyer is good?
Every lawyer has been interviewed and background checked. They must be licensed and receive consistently positive reviews to remain on the platform.
What if I realize I have a larger legal need after my advice session?
Good lawyers can provide most legal services. The cost of the initial advice session will be deducted from the cost of the larger service.
What if my lawyer can't answer my questions?
If you are unsatisfied with the legal advice you receive from your lawyer, Goodlawyer will give you your money back. Simply email [email protected] to request a refund.
Will I be matched with a lawyer in my city?
You will be able to select the lawyer you want to work with. We partner with lawyers in every major Canadian city, but we can’t guarantee they will be available at all times.
