Our Family Law Services
Whether you are married, about to be married, or in a common-law relationship, it is important for you to understand your interests and those of your children before, during and at the end of your union. Our family law professionals understand the multiple and complex concerns inherent in living as a couple.
- Commercial aspects. Business people often have assets that are difficult to evaluate or monetize. It is not unusual for spouses to also be partners in the same business. The members of our Business Law group can help clarify these situations and reorganize the commercial assets at stake.
- Inheritance aspects. Working with our Estates, Wills and Trusts group ensures that your estate planning remains consistent with your intentions after your divorce.
- Mediation. Mediation is recognized as an advantageous method of dispute resolution, usually less expensive and quicker than traditional court proceedings. Experienced family law counsellors can guide the parties to a quick and harmonious resolution of their marital disputes, whether or not spouses choose to be accompanied by their lawyers.
