One network. The right hand on every matter.
1205 runs the work it is built to run, and routes the rest to a cross-disciplinary bench of vetted specialists. If you have a client who needs us, refer them. If you are a specialist who wants Ontario work routed your way, join the bench.
— Ontario-focused · One business-day reply
How the boundary works: regulated work is performed by the regulated professional under their own licence — not by 1205. 1205 does not provide legal, tax, or immigration advice and does not issue or guarantee any certification. When a matter needs a licensed specialist, we route it and stay in our lane.

When to send a client our way.
Good fit for 1205
- An Ontario employer needs an independent workplace investigation.
- A business needs HR infrastructure, an embedded HR desk, or interim HR capacity.
- An employer needs an AODA evidence file before a senior officer certifies.
- A company entering Canada needs operating capability built, not just advice.
We route out when
- The client needs legal advice, representation, or a termination decision — that goes to counsel.
- The matter needs tax, accounting, or immigration advice — that goes to a CPA or RCIC.
- A certification must be issued — that goes to the accredited body or licensed specialist.
- There is a conflict, or anything that could be perceived as one.
What 1205 handles. What the partner handles.
1205 handles
The partner handles
Scoping the matter, running intake, and deciding what kind of help it actually needs.
Performing any work that requires a licence or regulated standing.
Independent workplace investigations, HR infrastructure, AODA evidence files, and operating capability.
Legal advice, tax advice, immigration advice, and the issuing of any certification.
Managing the engagement, assigning a named senior practitioner, and owning the deliverable.
Standing behind their own regulated opinion under their own licence and name.
The rules we route by.
Regulated-professional boundary
Where a matter requires a licence — legal advice, tax, immigration, or issuing a certification — the regulated professional performs that work under their own standing and name. 1205 does not provide those services and does not hold itself out as able to. We coordinate; they certify, advise, or represent.
Conflict boundary
We run a conflict check before accepting a referral. If 1205 — or a bench partner we would assign — has a conflict, or anything a reasonable person could perceive as one, we decline or route elsewhere. For independent investigations, the investigation is kept separate from any remediation, subject to a fresh conflict review.
The same standard sits behind every deliverable — see the Human-Attested Trust Pack.
