Practice areas

Five things we do, done thoroughly.

We keep our practice narrow on purpose. These are the areas we know deeply, where we can give you advice that is genuinely useful rather than generic.

01

Business Law

Start it, structure it, sell it well.

  • Incorporating and setting up partnerships the right way the first time
  • Shareholder and partnership agreements that prevent fights later
  • Buying or selling a business, with the contract reviewed line by line
  • Commercial leases and supplier agreements in plain terms
02

Real Estate

Property deals that close without surprises.

  • Home and condo purchases and sales
  • Refinancing and mortgage paperwork
  • Title review so you know exactly what you are buying
  • Commercial and investment property transactions
03

Wills & Estates

Look after the people you love.

  • Clear, current wills that say what you actually mean
  • Powers of attorney for property and for personal care
  • Guiding executors through probate step by step
