Litigation is a subtle art. It calls for strategic talent and focused scholarship. Above all, it calls for dedication.
There is no substitute for advocacy experience in court. The lawyers of Eyford Partners have made a lifelong study of litigation. Our driving ambition is mastery of the law and the facts, and we bring that passion for excellence to every case.
Before establishing the firm in 2009, the lawyers of Eyford Partners practised together at a large national law firm. In founding Eyford Partners, our lawyers drew upon the best of biglaw—the commitment to legal excellence, the readiness to take on complex mandates—while bypassing the bureaucracy. The result is Eyford Partners, an agile litigation boutique, attuned to the needs of our clients.
When clients choose our firm, we honour their trust by providing the highest level of service. To us, clients are more than just “cases”. They are partners, which is why we always take the time to provide well-balanced, comprehensive advice. Through this collaborative approach, we help them to achieve the best possible outcome.
The spirit of partnership also defines how we see our role in the wider community. Our lawyers are generous with their knowledge, giving back to the profession as speakers and teachers. They also regularly take on pro bono work as an integral part of our profession.
Our lawyers have years of experience, and a proven record of success, in advancing and defending complex claims. We are adept at every level of the process, from negotiations through to trial and appeal.
We work collaboratively with our clients to provide customized solutions. Often, it is in their best interests to avoid taking a matter to court. Through mediation, arbitration, and negotiated settlements, our lawyers advocate for their position and provide resolutions tailored to the client’s specific needs. Through alternative dispute resolution, we are often successful in securing a favourable resolution in a timely, cost-effective manner.
Should a dispute proceed to litigation, our litigators have extensive advocacy experience. We have appeared at every level of court in British Columbia, served as counsel in landmark decisions, and, as a result, secured a reputation as litigators worth knowing. We also have substantial experience in appeals and judicial review matters.
Our expertise as both trial and appellate counsel is mutually reinforcing. The role of appellate counsel is to review errors made at first instance against a backdrop of rigorous legal analysis. This process yields invaluable insights, and our appellate experience allows us to hone our approach continually to trial litigation and defence.
An initial consultation with a member of Eyford Partners can be the first step to crafting an effective legal strategy.
Eyford Partners is deeply committed to giving back to the practice of law and to the wider community. We view pro bono as an integral part of the profession. Since the start, we have dedicated time, effort, and firm resources to performing legal work for the public good.
