What Sets Us Apart
Charlebois Associates is not your typical law firm. Here are three reasons why:
We are available when you need us. We have a policy of always responding to inquiries within 24 hours, while our Risk Management Services offer 24-hour assistance for employers facing an emergency that occurs after regular office hours.
We focus on our clients' bottom line. We offer a flexible range of pricing options that can be customized for each client's budget and needs, and we only do work that that has the potential to reduce your actual NEER or CAD-7 costs.
We provide training to help our clients minimize or avoid legal problems and costly accidents. Our “Prevention” services include two engaging and highly informative full-day courses for employers, supervisors and managers on due diligence and the Internal Responsibility System.

The WSIB system is impossible for ordinary companies to navigate. We were so frustrated with the WSIB’s refusal to recognize that several claims were not due to workplace injuries or illnesses that in 2005 we engaged the services of Cézanne Charlebois.
Through her expertise with the WSIB appeals process, advanced communication skills, knowledge of physiology and her relentless perseverance, we have had the decisions in all of our most difficult cases overturned, resulting in 90% SIEF cost relief, improved NEER ratings and a refund of our WSIB 2007 surcharge of over $106,000. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Cézanne and I highly recommend her services.

Cézanne's ability to dissect complex cases and educate our company on the WSIB system is unmatched by other companies offering the same service. Her contribution with claims management has significantly increased our WSIB rebates and structured our return to work program to encourage long term benefits.
Cézanne was instrumental in obtaining maximum relief for one of our most costly claims that lingered on our NEER statement for over 2 years. I would highly recommend her service for all matters relating to WSIB and workers compensation.
