Legal Services

Barristers and solicitors

We are experienced legal advisors passionate about our clients. As litigators, we help clients out of sticky situations. We also help clients avoid sticky situations by providing quality advice regarding contracts, real estate, corporate and commercial, and estates matters. We work in Ontario, Yukon, and Nunavut.

Areas of specialization

Litigation and advice involving complex legal questions, and/or the need for extensive research.

  • Corporate and commercial

    We offer strategic advice to businesses on legal matters to help them minimize risk and make informed decisions. We assist small-to-medium-sized businesses as general counsel, including managing litigation for clients, and provide advice regarding business structure and governance issues. This includes contract review and negotiation, regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and general legal counsel on various business transactions and operations.

  • Real property

    Our solicitors help clients with complex property issues. We also assist with residential and commercial property transactions.
    If a dispute arises over real property, we can litigate on your behalf. These disputes can be as simple as a failed real estate transaction to boundary disputes.

  • Regulatory / technical

    We specialize in providing research-intensive regulatory advice and litigation. Complex regulatory environments, like aviation regulation, or energy development.

  • Fraud or conduct resembling fraud

    We investigate and prosecute civil claims for fraud or conduct resembling fraud, in whatever form such conduct takes. These cases often require coordinating investigators’ and expert evidence, while ensuring that a viable legal case exists. Our solicitors work within their fields of practice to coordinate investigations. Barristers work with the solicitors to prepare cases for court and, ultimately, trial.

  • Private act corporations

    Private act corporations are created by private or special legislation to grant a privilege to a company. Many older corporations, like universities, religious institutions, and trading companies are incorporated by private or special legislation. We are familiar with the legislative process and legislative drafting conventions and can work with parliamentary counsel and Parliament or provincial legislatures to pass amendments or new acts of incorporation.

We do not, under any circumstance, act in family cases. We can, however, refer these matters to other lawyers.
