Constitutional Law

Our dedicated team offers comprehensive legal services to navigate the complexities of Canadian constitutional law and protect our clients' rights.

Charter Rights Litigation: We represent clients in Charter rights litigation, including cases involving freedom of expression, equality rights, freedom of religion, and other fundamental freedoms protected by the Charter.
Constitutional Challenges: We assist clients in challenging government actions, legislation, or regulations that infringe upon constitutional rights and freedoms, advocating for remedies such as declarations of invalidity, constitutional exemptions, or damages.
