Virtual appointmentsAbout Routliffe Law
Routliffe Law offers practical advice in wills and estates, real estate, commercial law, labour and employment law and environmental law, and it brings that service to clients at home or at their business. It's a small Erin business that treats the people it serves as customers, and its aim is good legal work that's convenient and fairly priced.
Robert (Rob) Routliffe leads the practice. Rob earned a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Toronto and was called to the Ontario Bar in 1984. Every case gets that extensive experience, along with support shaped around the individual or business needs and concerns of each client.
Clients aren't limited to Erin. Rob meets people at their own premises in places including Milton, Orangeville, Caledon, Mississauga and Guelph. And if a file ever reaches the point where it needs a full service firm, Rob manages that handover.
The office is at 55 Main St. in Erin (PO Box 295, N0B 1T0). Rates can be set by the hour, by the day or as a monthly retainer, adjusted to suit each client's situation.
Practice areas
Wills and powers of attorney
Each client's estate plan gets Rob's own attention. Routliffe Law can estimate in advance what a will and powers of attorney for property and personal care will cost, then sends the drafts for the client to review and approve and supervises the signing.
Purchases, sales and refinancing
Rob and a small, experienced team look after the details of buying, selling or refinancing a property. The practice keeps a cap on how many deals it accepts so that each one is handled properly.
Corporate and commercial
Business work covers buying or selling a company, putting a shareholders' agreement in place and getting a new venture started, with practical advice drawn from Rob's years of experience.
Employment and HR
Rob advises both individuals and companies on employment and HR law.

Payment plansHow Routliffe Law works
Routliffe Law's model starts from a simple point: a full service firm has to bill experienced lawyers at high rates to pay for its overheads, staff and junior counsel. Rob instead gives experienced, practical advice from an Erin office that runs on minimal overheads, and those low overheads are what make reasonable rates possible.
The other half of the model is that the lawyer travels. Meetings happen at the client's own premises, where Rob can get to grips with the issues and sit down with the client, any staff and business associates. A kitchen table, a meeting room or a business office becomes the place the work gets done, and the goal is quality advice and service that saves clients both time and money.

The neighbourhood
Erin is a town in Wellington County, sharing borders with Caledon to the east, Halton Hills to the south, Guelph/Eramosa to the west and East Garafraxa to the north. The settlement took shape after mills went up along the Credit River in the late 1820s, and the Credit Valley Railway arrived in 1879. Farming still plays a real part in town life, though Erin is mainly rural and most residents work in nearby Brampton, Mississauga, Guelph or Toronto. Each year the Erin Fall Fair brings out hundreds of visitors.
