Practice areas
Four areas, covered properly.
The practice is deliberately narrow. Each area below explains the issues involved, when a business typically needs counsel, how the work would be approached, and what to do next. This is general information about how these matters are handled — not advice on any particular situation.

Scope
What sits outside the practice.
- Consumer matters, family law, criminal defence, personal injury and immigration.
- Tax opinions, patent prosecution, securities regulatory work and foreign-law questions, which we would refer or co-counsel.
- Matters where the company needs a large team on short notice, which a boutique cannot staff responsibly.
