How We Approach Your Case
Every business is different, but our methodology stays consistent. Here's what you can expect when working with us.
Building Governance That Works
Look, corporate governance shouldn't be about creating bureaucracy. We start by understanding how your company actually operates - the real dynamics, not just the org chart.
From there, we develop board structures, policies, and compliance frameworks that fit your culture while meeting all legal requirements. We've worked with everything from startups to established corporations, so we know there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Regular compliance audits help catch issues early, and we'll train your team on what they need to know. The goal is governance that protects your company without slowing down your business.
Discuss Your Needs
Strategic Dispute Resolution
Not every dispute needs to go to court, but you need lawyers who aren't afraid of trial. That's us. We assess each situation carefully - sometimes mediation or arbitration makes sense, other times you need to fight.
When litigation's necessary, we prepare thoroughly. Discovery, depositions, motions - we handle it all while keeping you informed without overwhelming you with legal jargon. Our courtroom experience spans contract disputes, shareholder conflicts, partnership dissolutions, and more.
The best outcome is the one that serves your business interests, whether that's a negotiated settlement or a trial victory. We're prepared for either path.

Deal Guidance From Start to Finish
M&A transactions involve a ton of moving parts. We've closed deals worth millions and helped clients avoid bad ones that looked good on paper. Due diligence is where deals often succeed or fail, and we're thorough.
We'll structure the transaction to minimize tax implications and risk exposure, negotiate terms that protect your interests, and manage the entire closing process. Letters of intent, purchase agreements, disclosure schedules - we handle the documentation while keeping the deal moving forward.
Post-closing integration matters too. We help with transition agreements, employment contracts for key personnel, and resolving any issues that come up after the deal closes.
Talk About Your Deal
Protecting What Makes You Unique
Your intellectual property is often your most valuable asset, even if it doesn't show up on the balance sheet. We help identify what needs protection - sometimes companies don't realize what they've got until someone tries to copy it.
Patent applications, trademark registration, copyright protection, trade secret agreements - we handle the filings and strategy. More importantly, we enforce your rights when necessary. Cease and desist letters sometimes work, but we're ready to litigate infringement cases when needed.
We also draft licensing agreements and handle IP aspects of technology transfers. Whether you're monetizing your IP or protecting it from competitors, we've got the experience to help.
Protect Your Assets
Contracts That Actually Protect You
We've seen too many businesses get burned by contracts they didn't fully understand. When we draft agreements, we think about what could go wrong and build in protections. Termination clauses, limitation of liability, dispute resolution mechanisms - the details matter.
We handle vendor agreements, partnership contracts, service agreements, NDAs, and more. If you're negotiating a major deal, we'll review the other party's proposed terms and fight for better ones. Most contracts are negotiable if you know what to push on.
And when contract disputes arise, we know how to interpret the language because we're the ones who write these things every day. Prevention beats litigation, but we're ready for either scenario.

Navigate Employment Challenges
Employment law in Canada is complex, with federal and provincial regulations to navigate. We help companies develop policies that comply with all applicable laws while fitting their workplace culture.
Employee handbooks, workplace policies, employment contracts - we draft documents that protect your company. When you need to discipline or terminate an employee, we'll guide you through the process to minimize legal risk. Wrongful dismissal claims can be expensive, and proper documentation is crucial.
We also handle workplace investigations, discrimination claims, and accommodation issues. HR consulting is part of what we do - sometimes you just need to bounce a situation off someone who knows the legal landscape.
