Commercial litigation
Contract, fraud and trade-secret disputes where the business itself is at stake — prepared for verdict, not for the next status conference.
Built for
consequence.
Founder disputes
Deadlocks, freeze-outs and buy-sell fights between co-owners, handled with the speed that control questions demand.
Energy & infrastructure
Royalty, midstream and construction disputes built on the technical record from the first week, with experts retained early.
Appeals & critical motions
Error preservation during trial and appellate briefing that starts long before the verdict, not after it.
Case architecture / first call to appeal
What happens, and when.
Sophisticated buyers of legal services want to see the plan before they see the invoice. This page shows the sequence a matter follows.
- 72 hrs
Conflict check and first call
A senior trial lawyer — not an intake team — listens, asks the hard questions and tells you whether we are the right fit.
- 30 days
Early case assessment
A written view of the strongest and weakest facts, likely cost ranges and what a realistic resolution looks like.
- Pre-trial
Evidence and motion strategy
Depositions, experts and dispositive motions planned around the story we will tell the jury.
- Trial
Courtroom
The lawyer who took your first call stands up in court.
- Appeal
Protect or reverse
Appellate partners join before trial so the record is ready either way.
Fit / candour
What we take on — and what we refer.
High-consequence business disputes
Claims where control of a company, a major contract or a key asset is at stake, typically above $5M in exposure.
Matters outside our lane
Family law, criminal defence, personal injury and routine collections go to trusted firms we know well.
