ilovelaw Joins LSO’s A2I Program: Driving Affordable, Innovative Legal Solutions for Ontarians
Legal help shouldn’t be out of reach for everyday Ontarians. At ilovelaw, we’re making legal services affordable, simple, and accessible with innovative tools designed for real people. As part of our mission, we are proud to announce that we have joined the Law Society of Ontario’s (LSO) Access to Innovation (A2I) program, an initiative that fosters technological advancements in the legal sector. As part of this program, we operate within a trusted regulatory framework, reinforcing our commitment to creating affordable, easy-to-use tools for legal matters that meet the highest quality and ethical standards. Imagine navigating an uncontested divorce without the burden of costly legal fees—that’s the difference we’re here to make. Our mission is simple: to deliver reliable, user-friendly legal tools that empower individuals, families, and businesses across Ontario. Legal services should work for you, not overwhelm you—and that’s exactly what we’re building at ilovelaw.
How Does the A2I Program Benefit Legal Innovators and Ontarians?
The Law Society of Ontario’s Access to Innovation (A2I) program helps foster technological innovation within the legal sector. It allows legal tech pioneers to develop and offer direct-to-consumer legal technology services in a secure environment. Open to non-licensees and organizations of all types, A2I encourages creativity and the use of advanced technology to streamline legal processes.
For legal innovators, the program offers a chance to test cutting-edge ideas under LSO oversight, ensuring ethical, compliant solutions that meet public protection standards. For Ontarians, A2I-supported tools—such as apps, websites, and software—simplify legal tasks like document generation, contract analysis, and navigating complex cases. Companies like us benefit from joining the A2I program by leveraging this framework to create affordable, accessible, and user-friendly legal services. We also support LSO’s mission of empowering Ontarians with innovative legal solutions and A2I’s goal of reshaping Ontario’s legal landscape.
ilovelaw’s Role in the A2I Program
Our mission is to make legal services more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly for Ontarians. Joining the LSO A2I program was a logical step toward achieving that goal.
A2I helps us serve customers while meeting public protection requirements. It enables us to simplify legal processes like completing documents, accessing legal information, and handling more complex tasks, such as filing for divorce.
For us, A2I isn’t just about innovation—it’s about creating meaningful solutions that empower Ontarians and improve how legal services are delivered.
Innovative Solutions for Legal Needs: Beyond Cookie-Cutter Templates
Navigating legal services can be stressful and overwhelming. High costs, complex processes, and uncertainty often leave people feeling stuck, which may lead them to avoid critical legal matters like family planning or finalizing a divorce.
While free or low-cost online templates might seem like a quick fix, they come with serious risks. Generic documents often fail to align with Canadian federal or Ontario provincial laws, leading to costly mistakes. For instance, one individual used a free DIY separation agreement template to save on legal fees, only to discover it didn’t comply with Canada’s Federal Child Support Guidelines. This error resulted in expensive retroactive payments and unnecessary financial strain. Similarly, employers relying on generic contracts that don’t meet Ontario’s Employment Standards Act have faced expensive legal disputes and liabilities.
These examples highlight the dangers of using generic templates without proper legal resources. That’s why we’ve developed affordable, accurate, and reliable legal solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of Ontarians. Our products eliminate the guesswork, reduce stress, and ensure compliance with the law—making it easier for you to handle important legal matters confidently and without breaking the bank.
Transparent Legal Solutions: Affordable and Tailored to You
Transparency is at the heart of what we do. Our legal products range from $80 to $250, with no hidden fees. Each product comes with a clear description of its purpose, ideal use, and guidance on when consulting a lawyer might be a better option.
We are committed to making legal solutions accessible to everyone, regardless of income or location. Our estate planning documents are available in both French and English, and while most of our platform is bilingual, we have plans to expand the French catalogue in the future. This reflects our dedication to inclusivity for all Ontarians.
