We are often retained advise and act as counsel on appeals, both in respect of interlocutory motions and final judgments. 

We have significant experience in appellate courts acting for and advising appellants, respondents, and interveners in appeals, motions for leave to intervene, and applications for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Canada, and preparing arguments and appearing as counsel on behalf of both appellants and respondents in several appeals before the Federal Court of Appeal and Court of Appeal for Ontario. 
 
We know that effective advocacy requires careful analysis and a clear, concise, and focused argument. We consider the big picture and identify the problem(s) at the heart of the case, then focus our argument on the issues troubling the court.

Our firm regularly collaborates with other lawyers in co-counsel arrangements, particularly where the referring lawyer has been acting on a matter and wishes to remain involved in the case, but recognizes that specialized advocacy expertise or a fresh, objective perspective is required.

If you are considering whether to appeal an unfavourable decision or required to respond to an appeal after a successful motion or trial decision, we are available to assist in the background, act alongside existing counsel, or assume representation entirely. Of course, we respect all referrals.
