Complete online legal services at a distance

Since its founding the firm has been implementing the latest technologies in order to offer clients an extensive array of online legal services at a distance where clients gain all the advantages of personal responsive service by a dedicated team of legal professionals, without ever having to attend a law office face to face. Almost 100% of our offered services are offered at a distance, resulting in efficiencies that deliver significant client value:

  • real estate transactions where client meetings and document signing (including sworn commissioning of documents) takes place through the online video application of your choice, with originals of documents exchanged by courier service;

  • corporate/commercial drafting and deals where document drafts are exchanged by email or online file transfer service, advice is provided by email, teleconference or video conference, and documents are executed remotely;

  • estate administration where documents are exchanged by email or online file transfer service, advice is provided by email, video or teleconference, and documents are executed remotely with court filings done remotely as required;

  • court litigation (criminal and civil) where documents and records are exchanged through email or online file transfer service, client meetings take place by video or teleconference, documents are executed remotely with originals exchanged by courier if necessary (which sometimes isn’t required for litigation), and court filings take place remotely through online upload or courier. with some court hearings even occurring by video or teleconference, and in person hearings only being held when deemed necessary by the court;

Our goal isn’t to mimic traditional 9 to 5 Monday to Friday offices necessitating advance appointments for every interaction, but rather to offer seamless services that suit your schedule, needs and deadlines, so that as soon as lawyers and staff are next available they can deal with questions you’ve posed and materials you’ve provided, responding to you in turn for your consideration at your next available opportunity to review advice provided or next document drafts. Our model is a continual conversation, that mutually respects that everyone has competing priorities, but fills in the gaps with productive and effective legal dialogue as soon as time is available.

Lawyers and law firms are mostly well-organized collections of words, and occasionally electronic audio, video or still image recordings, with decades of legal training and experience applied to those words and electronic recordings in pursuit of your legal objectives, be they buying yourself a home or defending you against criminal allegations. As such, we’re ideally suited to deliver fully online legal services to you, regardless of where in Ontario, Canada or around the world you may be located, subject to limitations on the types of law we are able practice outside the province (noted above).

The firm’s Senior Barrister Gordon S. Campbell previously served as Canada’s Director of E-Business Development with Industry Canada, where he collaborated with private industry, federal and provincial governments, the OECD, APEC, UN and WTO with the aim of increasingly moving Canada’s business and professional services online. He now applies that experience to facilitate the firm’s online legal service delivery.

Central location of firm's offices

The firm's offices are conveniently located close to the Nation's Capital for effective access to all its courts, tribunals and headquarters of government departments. We’re also very close to the Quebec-Ontario border and Montreal for our Quebec-based clients with legal needs in Ontario. All lawyers practice in both French and English.

Our Greater Toronto Area (GTA) clients sometimes visit us as a day trip from Toronto due to our close proximity to the 401 Highway, while others prefer to to stay overnight at Alexandria’s charming local hotel: https://www.whiterockmotel.ca/ which we can highly recommend.

No extra or tightly controlled travel charges

The firm generally does not charge extra for travel time or disbursements anywhere in Canada whenever possible, and any charges that are required are tightly controlled and quoted in writing in advance so that client billing is always transparent.

No matter where you are located in Canada or overseas, we guarantee you a close and responsive solicitor-client relationship built through a combination of advanced technology and personal service. We tend to get on best with clients who want quick responsiveness and knowledge, but who rather than always dealing through face to face meetings are fine with a combination of teleconference, email, Skype, online document collaboration, and occasional face to face contact. 

We welcome any questions you might have about how we might assist you, and the kind of working relationship we can build.
