COVID-19 Notice
We are committed to providing our clients a consistent level of professional service, so we are adjusting how our services are delivered to you.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS:
The Province of Ontario has classified lawyers as essential due to the role of the profession in the administration of justice. The firm continues to offer professional services utilizing electronic means such as virtual technology, by telephone, and if required, document delivery for curbside pickup at 350 Albert Street in accordance with safety protocols recommended by local health and governmental authorities.
If you have any questions, we are here to help. We continue to offer professional services to new and existing clients but we have modified our approaches, such as with witnessing Wills and Powers of Attorney by audio-visual communication technology and virtual execution of many real estate transactional agreements.
