Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information you provide directly to us, most commonly when you submit our contact form, call, email, or otherwise reach out to discuss a legal matter. This may include your name, email address, phone number, the type of legal service you are inquiring about, and any details you choose to share about your situation.

Like most websites, our server automatically logs standard technical information when you visit — such as your browser type, device type, and the pages you view — for security and site-performance purposes. As of the date below, this site does not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, assess whether we can assist with your legal matter, schedule consultations, and — where you engage us — to provide legal services and maintain the records that engagement requires.

We do not use information submitted through our contact form for marketing purposes without your consent, and we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

3. When We Disclose Information

We disclose personal information only where necessary to provide legal services to you (for example, to opposing counsel, courts, or tribunals as your matter requires), where you have consented, where required by law or a valid legal process, or to service providers who help us operate our practice (such as IT or hosting providers) and who are bound to protect your information.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Solicitor-Client Privilege

Please note that submitting information through our contact form does not, on its own, create a solicitor-client relationship or attract solicitor-client privilege. Do not send confidential or urgent information through the contact form until we have confirmed that we represent you — call us directly at 416-274-2222 for time-sensitive matters.

6. Your Rights

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, and withdraw consent to our collection or use of your information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions, including our professional obligations as a law firm). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including any period required to comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional record-keeping obligations as a law firm regulated by the Law Society of Ontario.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. The "last updated" date below reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
