Facta and Written Submissions

Written advocacy is a key component of the litigation process.

Over my career I have drafted hundreds of written submissions for Ontario lawyers in both civil and family litigation proceedings, including:

Facta
Mediation and Pre-Trial Briefs
Draft Opening Statements
Trial Submissions
Costs Submissions

These facta and other submissions are usually prepared in tandem with the assembly of motion / application records and compendia, as effective legal writing embodies a synthesis between legal principles and the evidentiary foundation of the case.
