Corporate and Commercial
Many of our clients take full advantage of our skills and experience and request that we be part of their ongoing business decision-making and planning. We function as a management resource because we understand their businesses, their procedures, their markets, and the laws that impact upon them. This approach helps avoid problems, leading clients on productive paths to resolution and growth. Our lawyers provide extraordinary strategic legal advice and personal service to help business owners, managers, leaders, and family held businesses deal with the expected and the unexpected.
We counsel and support individual business leaders of private companies in many aspects of their operations. Our role is primarily that of legal advisors, but because we are able to see the whole picture, we frequently provide objective tactical and strategic guidance, particularly in the area of governance.
Trade Mark and Copyright - We are trademark agents. Our lawyers advise clients on brand development - the selection, protection and enforcement of company names, brand names, slogans and trade marks for Canada and other markets, including registration and licensing. We also assist clients with appropriate counselling and litigation regarding copyright, consumer protection, unfair competition, advertising and marketing practices.
