Practice Areas


Because there are strict time limits within which important challenges must be filed, many driving offences require immediate legal attention. We can help protect your rights and driving privileges. Driving law is a cornerstone of our practice. With decades of experience defending and prosecuting driving offences, lawyers across Canada seek our expertise to win driving cases.


Sexual activity is only legal when all sides consent. The age of consent in Canada is 16 years, and does not apply when there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency between parties. Accusations of sexual misconduct can result in serious jail time, reputational damage, and registration in the National Sex Offender Registry. A delicate and highly complex area of law, our approach to defending sexual offences is equally tactful, flexible and effective.


Some of the most serious offences under Canadian criminal law, violent offences can carry significant jail time or even life imprisonment upon conviction. But violent charges can be won. We’re at our best when the stakes are high. With our collective approach and some of the foremost violent crime lawyers in Vancouver on our team, we provide a formidable defence to violent charges.


Drug charges can be life altering. Drug convictions can lead to fines, jail time and criminal records, which could permanently impede your ability to travel and secure gainful employment. From simple possession to large-scale trafficking and conspiracy, our skilled drug lawyers take a team-based approach to defending all manner of drug charges. Your defence is strengthened by the skill and insight of multiple lawyers, fluent in all available strategies and defences.


If you suspect you’re under investigation for white collar crime, you should contact a lawyer immediately. Depending on the value of the subject of the offence and the level of trust breached, you could face fines, jail time, criminal records and career ending reputational damage. Our experienced theft and fraud lawyers work together to help you avoid a criminal conviction and salvage your reputation.
