Civil Litigation 
We represent clients in a wide range of civil litigation actions. Some
examples include:
- Business Disputes:
We prosecute and defend law suits for breach of contract, franchise
disputes, commercial leasing problems, real estate misrepresentations,
shareholder disputes, employment disputes and other claims.
- Defamation:
Your reputation is one of your most significant assets. Both Richard and
Brenda handle all types of defamation cases, including "cyber" libel on
the internet or by email, false written or oral statements to police, as
well as traditional defamation in print or by broadcast.
- Claims Arising from False Accusation of Crime:
We know the impact that false charges and wrongful accusation of
criminal activity can have on your well-being, career and reputation. We
vigorously pursue the makers of those accusations launching claims for
malicious prosecution, false imprisonment and related appropriate
claims. Our knowledge of the
criminal law positions us well to advance these claims.
- Class Actions:
Very few Ottawa firms have the class action experience we have. Do you
have a claim against a manufacturer of a defective product? Let us help
you launch that claim against the company.
- Public Law:
Brenda and Richard are not afraid of fighting any level of government on
issues of public importance.
"A little knowledge is a powerful thing…"
Richard and Brenda will explain the court process to you, and ensure you
know what to expect along the way. We are committed to the idea that an
educated client makes better decisions and achieves better result.

"Money talks…"
Litigation can be expensive. Brenda and Richard will talk to you about how
much your case will cost. We will develop a budget to avoid surprises. In
some types of cases, creative funding solutions are available.
"The smell of success and the taste of victory…"
In the end, litigation is about results. Brenda and Richard get results.
Good ones. We are able negotiators who take advantage of every opportunity
to resolve your case favorably without the expense of trial. When a trial
is necessary to protect your rights, we are able court room lawyers who
combine skill, strategy and knowledge of the law to present your case to
the judge successfully.
