Please be advised, we would be pleased to hear from you. It is important for you to know, however, before we can discuss representing you, we must first ensure that we do not have a conflict-of-interest. Please do not send us any confidential information about your matter. If we are able to represent you after conducting a conflict check and after meeting with you it is agreed that we will represent you, you will sign an engagement letter confirming that you have become our client. You can then send us confidential information.
To discuss the possibility of having Wilson Christen LLP act on your behalf, please contact 416-360-5952 and ask that your call be directed to the legal assistant of the lawyer with whom you wish to meet. Direct dial telephone numbers for all legal assistants may be found on our website at wilsonchirsten.com, in the Contact Us section of the site. Again, please ensure that no confidential information is included in any emails sent to this office.
Thank-you.
