Automated where
it can be.A lawyer where
it can’t.
I’m Jonathan Kleiman, an Ontario lawyer. Hire me, use my software to deal with your legal problems yourself, or let me help you automate your firm.
Software
Deal with legal matters yourself with Mithril’s software, every step cited to the rule that requires it. If it needs a lawyer, send it to me.
- Startup/Corporate, Employment, LTB.
- Small claims on makethempay.ca
- Free to see what applies to you. Every price is shown before you pay.
Consulting
I help you streamline your own firm like I did mine, building you a private workspace under your own name, with your workflows automated.
- Your own workspace from CAD 7,500, then CAD 750 a month.
- Each automation from CAD 5,000. Everything runs in your own cloud account.
Know what you’re owed before you pay a lawyer.
Tell the software how long you worked, what you earned and how it ended. It works out your minimum under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act and cites the section behind each number. The part that needs a lawyer, it hands to me (if you want).

A lawyer
Unless your contract validly limits it, the common law usually gives more. How much turns on your age, your role, your years of service and how hard it will be to find similar work.
