Courtroom experience
Our white collar defence team has been lead counsel on dozens of trials and appeals, including some of the biggest cases in Canadian history, and there’s nothing we can’t handle in-house. Our deep courtroom experience underpins our advice at
all times: during internal investigations, pretrial negotiations and at trial.
We are calm, organized, strategic, practical and act quickly, using our PR and crisis management expertise to frame issues before they’re being heard in the court of public opinion.
Our team engages with all stakeholders simultaneously, including prosecutors, regulators and the media,
to ensure a consistent narrative and proper information sharing.
Clarity in a crisis
Our team has experience
at every stage of the enforcement process in everything from sanctions breaches and insider
trading to anti-money laundering and tax offences. We have sector expertise
in financial services, energy, construction, health, transportation and technology. As legislation evolves, we’re on top of it.
Broad practice
Our white collar criminal defence and corporate investigations team is backed by the coast-to-coast expertise of Canada’s law firm, with particular strengths in cybersecurity, privacy, competition and securities law, making us the right choice for complex cases that touch many practice areas.
