Three ways in. Start with the problem in front of you.
Fractional general counsel for boards and founders who need someone senior in the room.
The legal work an operating company generates all year — handled, tracked, and delivered in plain English.
Money owed and business disputes — run from first demand to collected judgment.
Larger dispute or trial? We bring in co-counsel litigation firms and stay on your file.
Start a file →A collections file can grow into the whole legal function — no new engagement each time.
Fixed or capped fees, in writing, before work begins. If a matter changes shape, we re-quote before working outside the scope. No meter.
Who's involved, what's happening, any deadlines. No confidential documents yet — conflicts get checked first.
Read it, sign off. Not a fit? We'll tell you, and point you to someone who is.
The advice and the finished paper.
Before law, Ali Taghva built companies — including a national news outlet whose journalism drew more than seven million social engagements in a single year. He later served as Counsel and Chief Commercial Officer of a CSE-listed manufacturer. That experience is what your file gets.
Continuous disclosure, insider reporting under NI 55-104, MD&A, MCTO management — the ongoing obligations of being public, handled by someone who has carried them from inside a listed issuer. Larger mandates run alongside co-counsel securities firms.
Talk it through →The advice, the strategy, and everything that leaves the firm comes from the lawyer.
Where a matter needs work we don't do — a large financing, complex litigation, a tax opinion — we say so early, manage the referral, and stay your first call.
A short conversation about what you're facing, whether we're the right fit, and what the work would cost. It commits you to nothing.
And their owners. We take on individual matters selectively — usually disputes and collections. The fastest way to find out is to ask.
One call. Bring the file; leave knowing the next step.
