Whereas mid-sized to large law firms don’t typically practice criminal law, BOYNECLARKE stands out from the crowd. This translates into a significant advantage for our clients who can access specialized expertise within the firm, while enjoying a one-on-one relationship with one of our criminal lawyers.

At BOYNECLARKE, we have ready access to relevant expertise, when needed, to support your case. Tax lawyers in our Corporate & Commercial division advise on white-collar crime cases involving theft or fraud. If your case involves matrimonial issues, we simply walk down the hall and talk to one of our full-time Family Law practitioners.

BOYNECLARKE has acted for both individuals and companies in many jurisdictions in Canada. Cases range from summary convictions such as drinking and driving, to indictable matters such as sexual assault and murder. We have defended prosecutions at all levels of courts, including the Appellate courts in Atlantic Canada, the Federal Court of Canada, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
