GETTING STARTED & CONSULTATIONS

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. We offer a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation.


  • The Purpose: This session is designed for us to review the facts of your case, identify the legal issues, and determine if our firm is the right fit for your needs.
  • What to Expect: You will speak with a member of our legal team who will assess your situation and explain potential next steps.
  • Please Note: While we discuss your options, this complimentary session does not include the drafting of documents or the review of complex evidence. For extensive legal strategy or document review, a paid retainer is required.

This is a mandatory requirement by the Law Society of British Columbia. Before a lawyer can discuss any legal matter with you, we are required by law to verify your identity (“Know Your Client” protocols) and ensure there are no conflicts of interest with opposing parties. We cannot schedule your consultation until a valid government-issued ID is provided.

Adam Soliman is the Principal Lawyer and Lead Strategist. While he personally handles highstakes litigation and complex corporate matters, our firm operates as a collaborative team. Depending on the nature of your file, you may be represented by our Head of Legal, Suzanne Solsona, or one of our Associate Lawyers, with Adam providing high-level strategic direction.

If we determine that we can assist you, and you wish to proceed, we will send you a Retainer Agreement. Once signed and the retainer deposit is paid, we officially become your legal counsel and begin working on your file immediately.

BILLING & RETAINERS

How do your fees work?

We operate primarily on an hourly rate basis, which varies depending on the seniority of the lawyer handling your file (e.g., Senior Partners vs. Associates). For certain corporate transactions or drafting services, we may offer flat-fee arrangements. This will be clearly outlined in your Retainer Agreement.

A retainer is a deposit paid in advance to secure our services. These funds are held in a trust account and are used to pay your invoices as work is completed. We require a retainer to be in place before we begin work on any file or provide ongoing legal advice.

Generally, no. We are a corporate and litigation firm that bills for time and expertise. Contingency agreements are rare and considered only for specific types of cases under strict criteria.

LITIGATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

What is your approach to litigation?

Our philosophy is simple: We play offense, not defense. While we always aim to resolve disputes efficiently, we prepare every file as if it is going to trial. This proactive approach puts you in the strongest possible position to negotiate a favorable settlement. We do not wait for the opposing side to dictate the timeline.

The timeline of a lawsuit depends on the complexity of the issues and the cooperation of the opposing party. While the court system can move slowly, our team focuses on moving files forward aggressively to avoid unnecessary delays.

CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL SERVICES

I am buying/selling a business. When should I involve a lawyer?

You should involve us before you sign a Letter of Intent (LOI) or any binding agreement. Our Corporate Counsel (Mercy Oseko) specializes in structuring deals to minimize liability. Involving us early allows us to conduct proper due diligence and structure the transaction to protect your financial interests.

Yes. This is a core area of our practice. Whether you are being pushed out of a company or need to resolve a deadlock with partners, our Principal Lawyer (Adam Soliman) specializes in resolving complex shareholder and partnership conflicts.
