Our services
SCC Agents
As your Supreme Court of Canada agent, we take care of technical review, hard copy and electronic production, corresponding with the Registrar, service and filing, and advising on the Court’s unique practices.
Written Submissions
We ghostwrite factums at all court levels. It’s not enough to simply reargue what was said at trial. We work with clients to craft the most persuasive and strategic arguments geared towards appellate judges.
Research and Opinions
Make an informed decision about the next step in your case with an opinion on its strengths and weaknesses. If you’re already preparing submissions, we’ll ensure you have the latest legal research.
Courts of Appeal
Whether it’s an appeal at the Supreme Court or before a lower court of appeal, we work with clients or their lawyers to put their best case forward.
