We're not your typical stuffy law firm. Yeah, we handle serious corporate battles and complex disputes, but we do it without the pretense.
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.
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.
Founding Partner
Diana's background is in IP law and tech disputes. She's saved more than a few companies from patent trolls and knows her way around a courtroom better than most judges. Former clients describe her as "terrifyingly prepared" - we'll take that as a compliment.
Senior Partner
Rich joined us three years in and brought his regulatory compliance expertise. He's the one who keeps companies out of trouble with government agencies before things get messy. Used to work for the regulators, so yeah, he knows how they think.
Marcus and Diana opened shop in a cramped office on King Street. Three clients, two desks, and way too much coffee.
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.
Moved to Bay Street. Rich came on board. Team grew to 12 lawyers. Started feeling like a real firm.
Went fully remote in 48 hours. Helped dozens of businesses navigate COVID-related disputes and contract issues. Learned we're tougher than we thought.
Named one of Canada's top corporate litigation firms. Not bad for a crew that started with borrowed furniture.
22 lawyers, hundreds of cases won, and still hungry. We're building something that'll last.
We're not here to rack up billable hours. We're here to win your case or solve your problem. Simple as that.
No legalese unless it's actually necessary. We'll tell you what's happening in plain English, including when your case is a long shot.
Business doesn't wait around and neither do we. When you need something done yesterday, we make it happen.
We don't take cases we don't believe in. When we're on your side, we're all in - no half measures.
Let's talk about what's keeping you up at night. First consultation's on us.
