Advantages

Unique Perspective from Every Angle

We understand disputes and investigations from multiple vantage points. Our team brings rare expertise as both advocates and decision makers, coupled with senior in-house experience. We anticipate and adapt.

Senior-Led Excellence

Your most critical matters deserve senior attention from start to finish. Our partners personally lead every significant matter. Whether you’re facing a $1 billion claim or navigating an internal crisis, you get expert judgment from lawyers who’ve handled these challenges countless times before.

Tailored, Agile Service

Your challenges are unique. Every engagement is tailored to your situation, objectives, and dynamics. Our experience enables us to handle complex matters, while our size enables us to be agile and responsive. When circumstances change rapidly, we shift in real-time.

Strategic Resolution Focus

The right resolution at the right time at the right cost is our methodology. We don’t litigate cases that should settle, and we don’t settle cases that should be litigated. Sometimes that means creative alternatives that resolve disputes faster and with less risk. Sometimes it means forceful litigation. Every decision is measured against one standard: does it move us closer to the outcome you need?

Unparalleled Investigations Expertise

Our investigations practice is built on experience at Canada’s largest companies. We’ve handled complex and sensitive executive misconduct cases, complicated frauds, and the largest cybersecurity breach in Canadian financial services history. We provide an independent perspective to help you identify and address legal, regulatory, reputational, and operational issues.

Practical Governance Advice

We help directors and executives lead effectively, not just react to crises. Our governance advice is built around making boards more successful through clear roles, sound processes, and informed decision-making. Whether it’s structuring committees, overseeing strategy and risk, managing board dynamics, or engaging with shareholders, we focus on what drives performance and accountability. The goal is simple: governance that empowers directors and executives to ask the right questions, make better decisions, and build resilient, high-performing businesses.
