Litigation & Dispute Resolution

"To be a good litigator you have to like the taste of victory. You have to want to win. We teach our young people that our Number One priority is to demonstrate to our clients our absolute belief that we mean to succeed for them." 

Rod McKenzie: Senior Partner, Litigation

Success is our defining characteristic

We're trusted to deliver. We employ people in litigation who want to succeed for the client. That's the defining characteristic of Harper Macleod. Clients judge litigators by how they feel about the job once it's done. People don't buy legal services on price or advertising or marketing - or even necessarily reputation, although that helps. It's ultimately a choice based on trust that the lawyer will deliver.

Ambitious for our clients.  Our sense of ambition is for our clients as much as for ourselves.  We teach our young people that our Number One priority is to demonstrate to our clients our absolute belief that we mean to succeed for them.

Prevention is better than cure. Because prevention is almost always better than cure, we work closely with our clients to identify areas of high risk - and then help manage those risks. Success can often mean avoiding court- the really innovative solution sometimes means that going to court is the final option.
