Our Track Record

Real cases, real results. Here's what we've accomplished for clients who needed more than just legal advice—they needed someone who could actually win.

Look, we're not gonna fill this page with vague "we helped a major corporation do something confidential" nonsense. These are actual cases where we made a tangible difference. Some details are anonymized because, well, NDAs exist, but the outcomes? Those speak for themselves.

Corporate Litigation 2024
Shareholder Dispute Resolution
Settlement Value: $8.7M
Time to Resolution: 4 months
Client Savings: ~$2.3M
The Situation

Three founding shareholders of a mid-sized tech company were at each other's throats over equity distribution and strategic direction. The infighting was killing the business, and they were headed for a nasty court battle that would've cost everyone.

What We Did: Got everyone in a room (metaphorically—some meetings were pretty heated), restructured the governance model, and negotiated a buyout that actually made sense. Avoided litigation entirely through strategic mediation and some creative contract drafting.

The Win: Company stayed intact, one founder exited with fair compensation, and the remaining two are now running a profitable operation without the drama.

Intellectual Property 2023
Patent Infringement Defense
Claim Amount: $15M
Final Outcome: Case Dismissed
Duration: 18 months
The Situation

Our client, a software startup, got slapped with a patent infringement lawsuit from a larger competitor. The claims were pretty aggressive and clearly designed to scare us into settling or shutting down.

What We Did: Dug deep into the patent's prosecution history and found some serious issues with the original claims. Built a rock-solid invalidity argument and didn't back down when they tried to strong-arm us into settlement talks.

The Win: Got the case tossed on summary judgment. Our client didn't pay a dime and continued building their product without looking over their shoulder.

M&A Advisory 2024
Cross-Border Acquisition
Deal Value: $42M CAD
Closing Time: 6 weeks
Jurisdictions: CA, US, UK
The Situation

Canadian manufacturing firm wanted to acquire a UK-based competitor with US operations. The regulatory maze was complicated, and the seller was getting antsy about timeline delays.

What We Did: Coordinated with legal teams across three countries, streamlined the due diligence process, and identified deal-breakers early. Negotiated protective clauses that satisfied both parties' concerns about cross-border liabilities.

The Win: Closed in record time for a deal this complex. Client now has expanded market access and the integration's going smoother than expected because we actually thought through the post-merger structure upfront.

Technology Law 2024
Data Breach Response & Litigation
Affected Records: 125,000
Regulatory Fines: $0
Lawsuits Filed: 0
The Situation

E-commerce client experienced a security breach affecting customer payment data. They called us at 2am panicking about PIPEDA compliance, potential class actions, and reputational damage.

What We Did: Immediately coordinated incident response, managed notification obligations, dealt with the Privacy Commissioner's office, and implemented a communication strategy that was transparent without admitting unnecessary liability.

The Win: No regulatory penalties, no lawsuits materialized, and customer trust was largely maintained through our proactive approach. Sometimes it's not about winning in court—it's about never getting there in the first place.

Contract Dispute 2023
Supplier Agreement Breach
Damages Sought: $3.2M
Award Obtained: $2.8M + costs
Trial Duration: 8 days
The Situation

Manufacturing client's key supplier suddenly bailed on a long-term contract to work with a competitor, leaving our client scrambling to find alternatives at significantly higher costs during peak season.

What We Did: Filed immediately, secured an interim injunction to limit further damage, and meticulously documented all the cascading costs. The other side thought they could wait us out, but we were prepared to go the distance.

The Win: Judge agreed the breach was willful and awarded damages that covered nearly all our client's losses plus legal costs. Set a precedent that you can't just walk away from commercial contracts when a better deal shows up.

Regulatory Compliance 2024
Competition Bureau Investigation
Investigation Type: Anti-competitive
Final Result: No Charges Filed
Duration: 11 months
The Situation

Client received notice that the Competition Bureau was investigating their pricing practices and market conduct. The initial inquiry letter was vague but threatening, and internal emails weren't exactly... helpful to their case.

What We Did: Managed all communications with the Bureau, conducted our own internal investigation, and worked with the client to provide context for business decisions that looked questionable at first glance but were actually legitimate.

The Win: Bureau closed the investigation without any enforcement action. We also implemented a compliance training program so this doesn't happen again—because prevention's cheaper than defense.

Trademark Portfolio 2023-2024
Global Brand Protection Strategy
Trademarks Secured: 47
Jurisdictions: 12 countries
Opposition Success: 100%
The Situation

Growing consumer brand was expanding internationally but had a patchwork of trademark protection that left huge gaps. Worse, copycat products were already popping up in key markets.

What We Did: Developed a comprehensive global filing strategy, prioritized jurisdictions based on actual business plans (not just everywhere), and aggressively opposed conflicting applications from bad actors trying to squat on similar marks.

The Win: Client now has bulletproof trademark protection in markets that matter. We've also shut down several counterfeiters using those registrations. Their brand identity is secure as they scale.

SaaS Licensing 2024
Enterprise Software Audit Defense
Alleged Overage: $890K
Settlement Amount: $45K
Client Savings: 95%
The Situation

Major software vendor claimed our client was wildly out of compliance with their licensing agreement and demanded payment for years of "unauthorized use." The audit methodology was sketchy and the math didn't add up.

What We Did: Challenged the audit procedures, had our own technical team verify actual usage, and found that the vendor's software deployment tracking was fundamentally flawed. Negotiated from a position of strength once we had the real data.

The Win: Settled for a fraction of the demand—basically covering only clearly documented overages. Client also renegotiated their license terms to prevent this kind of surprise audit ambush in the future.

Post-Closing Dispute 2023
Earn-out Arbitration Victory
Disputed Amount: $5.4M
Award Granted: $4.9M
Arbitration Days: 5
The Situation

Our client sold their business with an earn-out tied to performance metrics. The buyer started playing accounting games to reduce the payout, claiming various "extraordinary expenses" that weren't contemplated in the purchase agreement.

What We Did: Took it to arbitration as the contract required. Brought in forensic accountants who shredded the buyer's creative bookkeeping. Our cross-examination of their CFO was particularly satisfying—dude couldn't explain his own spreadsheets.

The Win: Arbitrator agreed the buyer's adjustments were bogus and awarded almost the full earn-out amount. Client got paid what they were owed, and we made sure the buyer covered arbitration costs too.
