What We Actually Do

Real talk - these aren't just service categories. They're areas where we've helped businesses avoid disasters, win cases, and sleep better at night.

  • Business incorporation & structuring
  • Shareholder agreements
  • Corporate governance
  • Commercial transactions

Business Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Nobody wants to end up in court, but sometimes it's unavoidable. When it happens, you'll want someone who's been there and won. We handle everything from contract disputes to shareholder battles.

  • Contract disputes
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Breach of fiduciary duty

Your ideas, your brand, your innovations - they're worth protecting. We help you lock down your IP assets and defend 'em when someone tries to rip you off.

  • Trademark registration & protection
  • Copyright matters
  • Trade secrets & confidentiality
  • IP licensing agreements

Contract Drafting & Negotiation

Contracts are where deals either succeed or fall apart. We write contracts that actually protect you and negotiate terms that make sense for your business, not just sound fancy.

  • Commercial agreements
  • Vendor & supplier contracts
  • Non-disclosure agreements
  • Partnership agreements

Mergers & Acquisitions

Buying or selling a business? It's complicated, stressful, and there's a ton that can go wrong. We've guided clients through dozens of M&A deals and know how to get them done right.

  • Due diligence

  • Asset vs share transactions

Common Questions

Stuff people usually ask us before we start working together.

Honestly, it depends on what you need. We charge hourly for litigation and complex work, but for stuff like contract drafting or corporate setup, we often do flat fees. We'll give you a clear estimate upfront and stick to it. No billing surprises. Initial consultation is free for the first 30 minutes.

Nope, not unless you want to. We do most meetings over video call or phone. It's faster and more convenient for everyone. If you prefer meeting in person though, we're downtown Toronto and happy to see you here.

Usually right away. Once we agree to work together and get the retainer sorted out, we can start same day or next day in most cases. If it's an emergency situation, let us know and we'll prioritize it.

No problem. We work with clients all over Ontario and sometimes beyond. As long as the legal matter is in our jurisdiction, we can help. Everything can be done remotely these days anyway.

We're not trying to impress you with fancy offices or throw around legal jargon to seem smart. We focus on actually solving your problems efficiently and keeping you in the loop. Our clients appreciate that we're responsive, straightforward, and charge fairly. Plus we've got real experience - our team's been around long enough to know what they're doing.

Yeah, for sure. Give us a call and we'll see if we can answer it right there or point you in the right direction. If it's gonna take more time, we'll let you know and can set up a proper consultation. Either way, we're not gonna waste your time or ours.

Let's talk about what you need. No pressure, no sales pitch - just a straightforward conversation about how we can help.
