Who We Really Are

We're not your typical stuffy law firm. Yeah, we handle serious corporate battles and complex disputes, but we do it without the pretense.

Our office

Our Story, No Fluff

Look, we started Quint Harvoid Gate because we were tired of seeing businesses get chewed up by legal processes they didn't understand. The big firms weren't listening, and the small ones didn't have the firepower.

So we built something different - a firm that actually gets how business works. We've been in the trenches with startups, stood our ground against multinational corporations, and yeah, we've lost some sleep over cases that mattered.

Today we're known for handling the kind of disputes that keep CEOs up at night. Not because we're the loudest in the room, but because we actually know what we're doing.

Meet the Partners

Founding Partner

Marcus spent 15 years at Bay Street firms before he'd had enough of the red tape. He's the guy you want when contracts go sideways or when someone's threatening litigation. Doesn't sugarcoat things, which clients actually appreciate once they get used to it.

How We Got Here

2012

The Beginning

Marcus and Diana opened shop in a cramped office on King Street. Three clients, two desks, and way too much coffee.

2015

First Major Win

Won a $12M settlement for a tech company in a patent dispute. That case put us on the map and we've never looked back.

2017

Expansion & New Office

Moved to Bay Street. Rich came on board. Team grew to 12 lawyers. Started feeling like a real firm.

2020

Pandemic Pivot

Went fully remote in 48 hours. Helped dozens of businesses navigate COVID-related disputes and contract issues. Learned we're tougher than we thought.

2023

National Recognition

Named one of Canada's top corporate litigation firms. Not bad for a crew that started with borrowed furniture.

2025

Today

22 lawyers, hundreds of cases won, and still hungry. We're building something that'll last.
