Your receivable is
unpaid.
Every receivable passes through four states. We move them from the first to the last — with the rigor of a firm that does nothing else.
What "on contingency" means.
Pre-litigation on contingency means the firm charges no fees unless an amount is actually recovered. The mechanism applies to clear, documented commercial receivables where the debtor is identified and reasonably solvent.
Disbursements — court filing fees, process server, service, solvency searches — are always authorized in writing before being incurred, and billed at cost. No end-of-mandate surprises, no hidden charges, no mark-ups.
When amicable resolution falls short, we recommend the appropriate escalation: civil action, pre-judgment seizure, enforcement of securities, proof of claim. The decision always remains yours.
Six areas, one practice.
We accept only commercial collection mandates. This focus lets us move quickly on what matters and avoid paths that cost without paying off.
Pre-litigation on contingency
A structured sequence of demand letter, follow-ups, and negotiation. No fees if nothing is recovered.
Civil action & judgment
Drafting the statement of claim, managing the proceeding, obtaining and registering the judgment.
Urgent protective measures
When the debtor's assets risk being dissipated, we assess the available protective measures without delay.
Enforcement of securities
Personal property security under the Personal Property Security Act, construction liens, ranking of priorities.
Bankruptcy & proposals
Filing proofs of claim, defending creditor rights under the BIA and CCAA.
Cross-border
Coordination with correspondent firms in Quebec, the United States, and Europe.
A published

Firm notes
Small Claims Court, Simplified Procedure, or Superior Court: choosing the right forum for your Ontario commercial claim
Ontario gives commercial creditors three practical forums for a civil claim: Small Claims Court up to $35,000, Simplified Procedure to $200,000, and the ordinary Superior Court above that. The right choice is not just a function of the dollar amount — it drives cost, timeline, and discovery scope.
Ontario construction liens: your 60-day preservation window (and why most claims die in it)
For contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, the Construction Act gives Ontario one of the strongest debt-collection tools in Canadian commercial law — a lien on the property itself. But the preservation and perfection deadlines are strict, and once they lapse, the lien is gone forever.
Ontario's 2-year clock: don't let the Limitations Act quietly kill your commercial claim
Under Ontario's Limitations Act, 2002, you generally have two years from the day the claim was discovered to sue. Miss it, and a perfectly good debt becomes unenforceable. Here's how the clock actually works — and the wrinkles for demand obligations, partial payments, and acknowledgments.
