CASL (FEDERAL ANTI-SPAM LAW)
COMPLIANCE PRECEDENTS AND CHECKLISTS
Do you need CASL precedents or checklists
to comply with Canadian anti-spam law?
In addition to our legal services, we offer lawyer-prepared CASL compliance precedents and checklists that identify key consent, disclosure and other requirements to send commercial electronic messages (CEMs) to Canadians and provide checklists and templates to comply with CASL.
Our compliance precedents and checklists are an excellent way to mitigate risk and avoid common CASL-related issues, including relating to express consent requests, sender identification information for CEMs, CASL-compliant unsubscribe mechanisms, business related exemptions and types of implied consent and documenting consent and scrubbing distribution lists. We also offer a template CASL corporate compliance program based on the Canadian CRTC’s CASL compliance program recommendations.
All of our Canadian CASL compliance precedents and checklists include practical overviews of each of the relevant requirements, compliance checklists and guidance how to use them.
Our CASL compliance checklists and precedents are Word version documents with PayPal checkout and credit card payment options.
For more information and to order see: CASL Compliance Checklists and Precedents.

Canada’s federal anti-spam legislation (CASL) came into force in 2014. Since then, marketers and their advisors have been working to comply with what remains a complex law with outstanding uncertainties in some key areas.
In providing CASL advice to clients since CASL came into force, and even over the past several years, I regularly see some of the same compliance errors being made.
In this regard, one common CASL compliance error that I see is in relation to “friends and family” type promotions. This may include, for example, a promotional contest where entrants are incentivized to share information about the contest for bonus entries or where a company’s staff is encouraged to share information about a promotion with friends and family.
