We are litigation lawyers in Vancouver focused on the resolution of complex business disputes.
Our work is innovative and on the leading edge of the law. We were counsel on Google v. Equustek (2017 SCC 34), a leading international case on the court’s ability to control global content on the internet, and we regularly appear on Mareva (asset freeze) and Anton Piller (civil search warrant) applications. We recently appeared on the first ever ex parte appeal in the BC Court of Appeal – on a worldwide Mareva injunction with parallel asset freezing proceedings in France.
We combine creativity with analytical discipline, and legal strategy with business strategy. We collaborate with our clients and build an economic model for every case to find the right balance of risk, reward and cost.
