dental professionals

I can’t recommend Christie and Forte Workplace Law highly enough. We needed employment contracts and workplace policies and Christie did an amazing job. From the beginning to the end, she was always available to answer our questions and provide us with advice when needed. Her thoroughness and positive attitude makes her a pleasure to work with.

I have relied on Forte Law for advice about employment issues now for several years.  As dentists, we often become small business owners and are faced with challenging employment and human resources issues that exceed our formal training.  Having these confident subject-matter experts, who are promptly responsive, practical and easy to talk to has been a huge asset to my practice’s management.  They look at not only the legal side, but also take the human aspect into consideration. Their billing is fair and I have found good value from their services.

Dr. Robert Gardiner – Garibaldi Dental Clinic

Fantastic experience dealing with Christie and her team. We are a new startup dental practice and she was very accommodating with her time and expertise to draft multiple versions for our contracts for a location in BC and another province as well. Highly recommended as the go-to firm for dental employment contracts!
