Services

    Financial Offences

    Financial charges often arise from complex transactions and can have serious consequences for your career, finances, and reputation. We provide a strong defence that focuses on the evidence and legality of the investigation.

    Witness Representation

    Our team supports individuals who have been impacted by alleged criminal conduct or who have been called upon to participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution. We provide representation to help witnesses and complainants understand their role, navigate interactions with police and prosecutors, and participate in proceedings with clarity and confidence.

    Sexual Offences

    The law surrounding sexual offences is complex and rapidly evolving. Our team has been counsel on some of the leading sexual assault litigation and has vast experience navigating this complicated and sensitive area of the law. These offences often result in civil claims for damages in addition to the criminal proceedings, which we also have expertise assisting with.

    Firearms and Weapons Charges

    Our lawyers are experienced with the strict regulatory framework governing weapons offences in Canada.

    Youth Criminal Justice

    We provide supportive and informed guidance for young people facing charges under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

    We have experience representing clients in complex investigations and prosecutions involving the Canadian Securities Commissions and charges laid by Crown Counsel, including regulatory and quasi-criminal offences under federal and provincial statutes such as the Securities Act and the Fisheries Act.

     

    Assault and Violent Offences

    From simple assault to more serious allegations, we work to ensure your side of the story is heard and your rights are protected. These offences often result in civil claims for damages in addition to the criminal proceedings, which we also have expertise assisting with.

    Impaired Driving

    Immediate consequences, such as license suspensions, require swift action. Our team understands the technical and legal complexities of impaired driving cases.

    Drug Offences

    Including possession, trafficking, and production. We assess the validity of searches, arrests, and investigative procedures to build a strong defence.
