Question 6: Why shouldn't I hire a law firm rather than retain HRCRRA?

There is a fundamental difference between HRCRRA services and those provided by a law firm. HRCRRA specializes in Human Resource services. The comprehensive program is designed to use a progressive approach to Employee Relations to avoid litigation. It seeks to establish policies which encourage the symbiotic relationship between employers and their employees.

In contrast, lawyers are your advocates in actual or potential litigation. They exist, and recommend a course of action, addressed to “win” any dispute with employees. By its very nature, retaining a lawyer means the failure of a HR management approach.

This is not to say that lawyers are unnecessary. HRCRRA has retained an experienced employment litigation law firm to provide assistance in those cases in which use of an attorney is necessary. For example, in cases in which HRCRRA is retained to investigate disputes, the client may wish to have such investigation subject to the attorney-client privilege. In such cases, HRCRRA can work subject to the direction of the client’s own attorney. If the client does not have a law firm, HRCRRA can refer the client to an experienced trial litigation firm.
