Representing clients throughout Ontario.

Advice & Opinions

We leverage our extensive litigation experience to provide practical guidance to clients and other lawyers, even before disputes arise or when litigation has not yet commenced. We offer advice and opinions that equip our clients with the information and tools needed to avoid or resolve disputes proactively.

Our work in this area includes:

– Advising clients on the strength of potential claims for or against them

– Providing opinions to clients and other lawyers on the merits of motions, potential appeals or judicial review applications and identifying possible grounds for appeal

– Preparing opinions and consulting on the interpretation and application of various contractual provisions
