How Does The CLO Program Work?

We have various options available to suit your unique needs.

Quite often, you may have a question or two on how to deal with a day-to-day issue that presents itself, which at times may take only 10 minutes. Without having a go-to lawyer that can respond the same day. You may decide to make a decision that opens you up to liability instead of seeking legal advice –to avoid high legal fees.

The CLO Program allows you to feel confident that you have a lawyer ready, and on deck, to help with any questions throughout the course of the year. That you don’t need to open yourself up to liability and can seek legal advice when you truly need it.
