The questions most clients ask, answered plainly.
These are the questions that come up most often before we're retained. They cover how our practice is structured, what working with Denis actually looks like, and how we think about urgency, cost, and consultations. If your question isn't here, the intake form is the fastest way to get a direct answer.
Which types of matters do you handle?
We are a boutique civil litigation and corporate law firm. Our core practice areas include commercial litigation, shareholder and partnership disputes, defamation and internet law, real estate litigation, arbitration, privacy law, and appeals.
We are selective about the files we accept so that each matter receives the attention it requires.
Selective by design: complex civil litigation and the corporate work that sits alongside it.
Will I work directly with Denis on my file?
Yes. Our boutique structure means your file is handled by the lawyer you retained rather than rotated among associates.
Where co-counsel, an agent, or a specialist is brought in, we tell you in advance and explain why.
The name on the retainer is the name on the file. No silent hand-offs.
Do you handle urgent matters such as injunctions?
Yes, subject to availability. Time-sensitive matters, including injunctions, certificates of pending litigation, Mareva and Anton Piller orders, and emergency motions, require quick movement and, depending on the level of urgency, may be charged at higher hourly rates.
Truly urgent work carries a premium reflecting the speed it demands, not the complexity of the issue.
Can you give me a cost estimate before I retain you?
For corporate and transactional work, yes. The scope is typically defined from the outset, which makes costs easier to forecast.
Litigation is harder to estimate in advance because it depends on the complexity of the matter, the number of parties involved, the other side's conduct, and the procedural path the file takes.
You receive itemized monthly accounts either way, and we flag material changes in scope as they arise.
Itemized monthly accounts, and a heads-up the moment the scope moves.
What should I bring to my consultation?
We don't review documents or provide specific legal advice during consultations. The consultation is a general information session about your legal issue and the options potentially available to you.
You're encouraged to come with questions or scenarios prepared in advance so you get the most out of the 30 minutes.
Bring questions and scenarios, not boxes of documents. The document review happens after you're retained.
Every file starts the same way: with a short intake form.
If your question isn't on this page, the fastest path to an answer is the intake form. It takes about three minutes, and a conflict check runs the same day you submit.
