How We Got Here
Every firm has a beginning, and ours started with three lawyers who got tired of the same old stuffy approach to corporate law. We figured there had to be a better way to serve businesses without all the unnecessary complications.
The Beginning
Started in a small office on King Street with just three partners and a shared vision. We wanted to build something different - a firm that actually gets what businesses need without the pretense. Those first few years taught us more than any law school ever could.
Growing Pains
Moved to Bay Street after landing some major clients in tech and manufacturing. Grew our team to 15 lawyers and realized we needed better systems. Also learned that growth isn't always smooth - had to turn down work for the first time, which was weird but necessary.
Finding Our Groove
Launched our specialized M&A practice and won our first major commercial litigation case that made headlines. That year really put us on the map. We also started mentoring younger lawyers the way we wished someone had mentored us - with honesty and real-world advice.
Adapting & Thriving
Expanded our employment law division after seeing how much our clients struggled with post-pandemic workplace issues. Added six new partners who brought fresh perspectives. Also upgraded our entire tech stack because let's face it, legal work doesn't have to feel stuck in 1995.
Where We Stand
Now we're 32 lawyers strong, handling everything from cross-border M&A deals to complex IP disputes. We've kept what made us different from the start - straight talk, practical solutions, and actually caring about outcomes. Plus we finally got that corner office view everyone jokes about.
