Business (Commercial) Law

Business law, also known as Commercial law, encompasses all aspects of governing the relationships between participants in commercial transactions. There are many different kinds of such transactions and they all require a combination of legal, business and practical knowledge to accomplish the optimum result for our clients, especially if the transaction is complex. We advise leading companies in a variety of business enterprises.

The lawyers in our family law practice group provide expert counsel and practical advice on family law matters, ranging from simple divorce to complex property and support disputes and high conflict parenting cases. Our lawyers also have extensive experience drafting marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements.

With well over a century of experience, our firm is well regarded in the Toronto and Ontario legal communities.

When people think of legal disputes, they usually imagine a trial conducted in court with the outcome determined by a judge or jury.

Insurance Law

While types of insurance vary widely, their primary goal is to shift the risks of a loss from the individual to a larger group of people. Each individual pays a premium into a pool from which losses are paid out. In general, insurance companies are the safekeepers of the premiums and they are highly regulated to ensure that they are fair to the consumer. Our firm does not generally act for insurers – we act for insureds.

Intellectual property includes rights related to inventions, patents, copyright, trade-marks, confidential information and trade secrets. Copyright gives the owner the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, display or license his or her work. A trade-mark is a word, phrase symbol and/or a design used to distinguish the products or services of one person or organization from those of others in the marketplace.
