The Conversation
Every relationship begins with a thorough understanding of your winery. Its operation, your ambitions, and your legal needs.
The Plan
We propose a legal service plan tailored to your winery and specific needs.
The Relationship
This is where the work begins in earnest. Your counsel knows your winery, is reachable when it matters, and is already thinking about what comes next.
Trusted by Wineries and Industry Associations Across Ontario
Estate Counsel
The legal needs of a winery built for the long term deserve more than a lawyer on call. Estate Counsel is a retained legal relationship for Ontario wineries that want counsel who already knows their licences, their contracts, and how their estate runs and is present before problems arise.
Estate Counsel relationships are structured as annual engagements that cover your winery’s ongoing compliance needs, with counsel on hand as circumstances arise.
We work with a small number of winery clients each year, by design.
