Understanding legal risks and their consequences is crucial for everyday Canadians, as these risks directly impact our lives.

Canadians currently face significant challenges, including the high cost of living and housing. These challenges place immense financial strain on families and contribute to a rise in mental health issues, affecting many Canadians’ job performance and overall well-being.

Yet, what often remains absent from news headlines are the challenges people encounter when navigating legal disputes, whether they have the assistance of a lawyer or not.

The survey, conducted by Forum Research on behalf of ARAG Legal Solutions Inc., highlighted the prevalence and impact of these legal issues.
