In 1978 two young entrepreneurial lawyers decided they didn't want to follow the traditional and well-beaten legal pathways. They established a practice in the heart of Halifax's business district, surrounded themselves with experienced support staffthen followed their own drummer. Their path led in some unusual directionsand still does.
Along the way, a considerable number of individuals, small businesses and some of Canada's largest institutions have discovered that this drummer's beat appeals to them too. These clients have discovered an uncommon law firm.
