“Clarus was there for us every step of the way when we were concerned about a potential claim of wrongful termination. Without wasting any time, they reviewed the facts, laid out our choices, and guided us toward a resolution outside of court. Their extensive knowledge of employment law was evident, but their ability to explain complex concepts in layman's terms was truly remarkable.
We've brought Clarus in on a number of matters since then. They’re responsive, informative, and gets us to the right decision quickly.”
— President, Professional Services Company

What sets them apart is that they make complex factual patterns digestible and easy to understand. We get the facts we need without wading through unnecessary details.”
