COVID-19 Update
Posted on March 17, 2020
As of Monday March 16th, all lawyers and staff are working from home. A small, brave admin team (who either walk or self-drive to work) is onsite to provide support to the rest of the firm. We’re confident you will not see a change in our service.
Our reception is closed but we are still able to receive/send courier packages and deliveries by Canada Post.
