Construction & Development
Construction projects are large undertakings that can consume considerable time and resources. We are experienced in assisting clients throughout Atlantic Canada from the start of construction through to completion. We act on behalf of developers, investors, contractors and consultants in public and private construction projects.
Non-Profit & Charities
We proudly act for more charities, non-profits and tax-exempt entities than any other law firm in the province. We act for foundations of the largest hospitals in Nova Scotia, small individual foundations, and a wide range of non-profit organizations. We are intimately familiar with the laws that govern activity in this sector.
Media Law
We have extensive experience representing media organizations in a wide range of matters. Our lawyers represent print, radio, and television organizations across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Our lawyers appear regularly before Trial and Appellate Courts.
Defamation
Defamation occurs when false information or derogatory opinions are communicated to third parties, diminishing reputation. We handle defamation matters for both plaintiffs and defendants. Defamation actions are normally tried before juries, which determine liability and damages.
Professional Regulation
We have represented a number of self-regulating professions, including engineers, surveyors, and various medical and allied health professions, over the past decade. We advise and act on behalf of these professions regarding corporate governance, professional standards, discipline, and aspects of the law that impact these professions.
