Smart & Affordable Legal Help
For over thirty years, Scott Dunlop advised business owners and executives at two of Canada’s leading law firms, helping them efficiently resolve corporate disputes, structure their business, and negotiate acquisitions. However, with the accelerating pace of business and access to broadening information, traditional law firms struggled to adapt. Their reliance on large retainers and high hourly rates—justified by firm "expertise" or "prestige"—no longer matches the needs of today’s agile enterprises.
Scott offers a better approach.
As independent general counsel, he provides strategic legal guidance that is responsive, practical, and cost-effective. Litigation is treated as a last resort—not a starting point. His strategic process focuses on:
Quickly assessing the scope of a business need, legal issue, or dispute
Determining the most effective steps to manage or resolve it
Referring, where necessary, to the right legal specialist with the right expertise
Doing so at affordable, transparent fee rates
Take the first step.
