Paul Conrod

We are a specialty law firm. Here is what we do: We provide legal advice for construction and infrastructure projects. For example: condos, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, bridges, roads, industrial, mining, etc. We have negotiated billion dollar contracts, litigated one of the largest construction trials in Toronto, adjudicated under the new Construction Act, and much more. We know our stuff. This is not a faceless organization with hundreds of lawyers, each lugging around dozens of files. Each client and mandate matters to us. We don’t have minimum billable hour targets. Instead, we cap the number of hours that each lawyer can work. This is to ensure that our team is energized, available, and focused on client outcomes and satisfaction instead of churning files and counting hours to get a bonus. You are hiring us for important matters. You want us focused on problem solving - so you can focus on keeping your project moving. We work with our clients to solve their problems. Responsive advice means addressing and achieving our clients’ outcomes. We don’t just say that client service is important to us. We have a client service policy so that you have a guaranteed level of service for your mandate. (For those who refer files to us, this means you will know your clients are getting the highest quality service, before we send them back to you). We aren’t trying to be everything to everyone. But we would be happy to speak with you to see if we are a good fit. And if we aren’t right for you, we have a strong referral network to put you in touch with someone we trust to help.
