Legal Representation in Toronto
– from Audit to Tax Court
What Sets Our Tax Dispute Practice Apart
Effective tax dispute work requires more than technical tax knowledge. It also requires careful factual development, sound judgment, and an understanding of how CRA disputes evolve from audit through litigation.
Tax Disputes Are All We Do
We focus exclusively on tax disputes, which allows us to bring concentrated experience and dispute-specific judgment to each file.
Direct Access to the Lawyers Handling Your Matter
We operate as a lean litigation team, which means clients work directly with lawyers who understand the file and remain involved throughout the matter. This allows for efficient decision-making, strong senior-lawyer oversight, and greater transparency around staffing and fees.
Practical Advice at Each Stage of the Dispute
Working Closely with Accountants and Advisors
Many tax disputes begin with a client’s accountant or tax advisor. We work closely with existing advisors as part of the broader team when a matter develops into a dispute requiring legal strategy, privilege, or litigation support.
Solicitor-Client Privilege
Tax disputes often involve sensitive factual and financial issues. Involving tax litigation counsel early can help preserve privilege over legal advice and litigation strategy while the dispute is still developing.
Proactive File Management
We approach CRA disputes proactively, developing the factual record and legal position early in the process. Our focus is on ensuring that the taxpayer’s position is properly supported before key decisions are made.
