Experience and Passion
Human Law's mission is to make top quality human rights and human resources legal services accessible to the people who need them.
Founder Michael DeRosenroll is a lawyer with 17 years' experience across Canada, working for employees and employers, and has served as legal counsel to three Directors of the Alberta Human Rights Commission. There he saw the need to make human rights and human resources legal services accessible to ordinary people, small businesses and non-profit organizations, and the opportunity to make it affordable by embracing technology to provide modern, client-centered, virtual legal services.
Michael is a member of the Law Society of Alberta and primarily practices in Alberta, where he lives. He also offers legal services as a visiting lawyer in other Canadian provinces, and does so in select human rights-related cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 1 : What Are Virtual Legal Services?
Your lawyer and their support team work remotely (e.g. home offices) and pass the overhead savings on to you. You meet with your lawyer on platforms like MS Teams or Zoom (or old-fashioned telephone), documents are exchanged electronically and signed using e-signature software. For many clients this is not only more affordable, but also more convenient than trudging down to their lawyer’s office, and you still get the benefit of a relationship with a lawyer who knows you and is dedicated to serving you.
Q. 2: How Is Human Law More Affordable?
Most lawyers charge hourly rates. That is an option with Human Law too, at extremely competitive rates because of Human Law’s low overhead. If a traditional hourly-rate retainer is not for you, Human Law also offers flat rates for specific services (like drafting documents for human rights complaints), or a subscription option.
Q. 3: What is a legal subscription and how does it work?
Human Law offers a subscription plan for small businesses and non-profit organizations that makes the benefits of an in-house lawyer affordable to all. When you first subscribe, we will have a New Subscriber meeting to learn about your business and your needs. For there, your monthly subscription gets you unlimited consultation time for legal advice.
Many costly lawsuits and legal problems are avoidable if you talk to a lawyer right away, but many cost-conscious businesses and non-profits wait until too late because of the cost of engaging a lawyer. A legal subscription is like a cheap insurance policy, so you can get timely legal advice when you really need it.
