Our approach is simple: we act as your partner in solving the case and bring all of our firm’s experience to the table. By working collaboratively, with access to expertise across any legal area that may be involved, our litigatiors are able to take on challenging cases and find effective resolutions.
No matter what the legal context – whether your dispute deals with a business, debt, property, or investment – our focus is on minimizing risk and maximizing recovery.
We aim to resolve conflicts in a way that preserves relationships while achieving the best possible outcomes. Whether through mediation, arbitration, or litigation, our team works closely alongside you to find the right solution and guide you through the process.
If you are facing a regulatory matter, our lawyers guide you through appearances before tribunals, boards, and commissions with clarity and confidence. Most cases can be resolved through negotiation or within the tribunal process, but if an appeal becomes necessary, you will have strong courtroom representation on your side. With years of experience handling these disputes, we work toward securing the best possible outcome when negotiation alone is not enough.
Appeals demand a distinct legal approach, where success depends on pinpointing errors made by the trial court and applying precise skill and strategy. If you are considering an appeal, our lawyers can assess its viability and provide clear, straightforward advice.
With experience representing clients before the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada—as both Appellants and Respondents—we understand what it takes to succeed. Because strict deadlines apply, often as little as 30 days to file, it is important to seek guidance right away.
Business disputes can be complex and often personal, involving partners, shareholders, directors, officers, or entire companies. Our business litigation team approaches each case with strategy and care, working to resolve matters in a way that protects your rights and supports your objectives. With experienced advocates on your side, you can be confident your dispute will be handled efficiently and cost-effectively.
If you are an engineer, architect, developer, contractor, subcontractor, owner, or material supplier, our construction law team is here to guide you through a dispute. Whether you’re dealing with contract issues, tort claims, risk management, or builder’s liens, we will help you navigate these complex challenges and work toward efficient, effective resolutions.
If you are facing a fraud claim, our team can assist with investigating, defending, and prosecuting fraud at all levels of court. With experience in both criminal defence and commercial litigation, we handle civil fraud cases that may involve criminal charges, and can guide you through police investigations. Our focus is on preventing further financial loss and recovering stolen assets quickly.
If you are facing fraud, whether as an insurer dealing with systemic or isolated cases, or as a business impacted through shareholder disputes, transactions, or real estate dealings, you need support quickly. Our lawyers help you uncover fraud, pursue recovery of your losses, and work to restore stability and confidence in your business.
Your ideas, creations, and brand are valuable assets, and protecting them is essential. Whether you need to safeguard copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or defend against false advertising claims, our lawyers provide solutions that keep your investments and IP secure. From cease-and-desist letters to injunctions and litigation, we advocate for you at every stage. You can also count on guidance with registration, enforcement, licensing agreements, portfolio management, and regulatory compliance, ensuring your hard-earned work stays protected.
Conflict is inevitable, but addressing it early and effectively can save you time, money, and stress. If you want a cost-effective and private alternative to court, mediation and arbitration give you options to resolve disputes while preserving important relationships. In mediation, a neutral mediator works with both parties to reach solutions you can both accept. If mediation does not resolve the matter, arbitration provides the next step: a neutral decision-maker hears the evidence and delivers a binding decision, giving you a streamlined, confidential alternative to trial.
When you place trust in professional advisors, whether lawyers, accountants, engineers, realtors, or brokers, you expect them to meet their legal obligations. If that trust is broken, the financial consequences can be significant. Our lawyers guide you through professional negligence claims, appearing at all court levels as well as before regulatory and disciplinary bodies, giving you support at every stage. With a deep understanding of both sides of these disputes, you can feel confident your case will be handled with insight and expertise.
If you are facing a real estate dispute, whether it involves purchase and sale contracts, agent commissions, misrepresentations, or tax assessments, you need a team that can step in quickly. Our lawyers provide clear advice to both buyers and sellers, helping you understand your options and make informed decisions. Early guidance is key, and we work with you to preserve your rights before and after a contract is signed. With decades of experience resolving these matters, we bring the knowledge and perspective needed to navigate your dispute effectively.
Assisting businesses in financial distress, we review legal options and develop strategic responses to insolvency risks. Our lawyers represent debtors in formal insolvency proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), helping to secure new financing, negotiate proposals or plans of arrangement, or manage an orderly liquidation. Whether the goal is recovery or wind-down, we work to protect the interests of the business, its directors, and its shareholders.
When you are involved in a dispute, you want it resolved quickly, privately, and with as little stress as possible. Mediation and arbitration give you cost-effective alternatives to court, helping you reach solutions while preserving important relationships. If your case does require court involvement, you will have experienced lawyers on your side, ready to guide you through the process.
