Litigation management
Know where you stand… Optimize your risk management, operations and performance.
Know where you stand…
As the executive in charge of your organization’s legal affairs, knowing where you stand on litigation is a daily challenge. Legal and regulatory compliance, contractual relationships, transactions and business practices risk triggering legal disputes that can be expensive in terms of resources, time and money, if they are not well managed.
The key is having a clear and up to date picture of your litigation risks to know exactly where you stand.

Practical results
Our cost-efficient structure provides you with more direct and personalized access to experienced counsel and results in fee savings of up to 50%, compared to large firms.
- For a large Canadian public company, our litigation management team eliminated over 50% of the disputes recorded in the books, resulting in a reduced assessment of the loss reserve funds. These funds, which were significant for the company, could be allocated to more strategic needs.
- After analyzing a client’s litigation files, we noticed that the majority resulted from ambiguous contractual clauses. We drafted new clauses that led to a considerable reduction in litigation, while decreasing the risk of unfavourable judgments in the event of legal proceedings.
- For boards of directors, we can implement a complete, up-to-date list of litigation providing a real-time overview of the disputes affecting the business. This reinforces the quality of governance and decreases the risk of triggering directors’ and officers’ liability.
