Look, I didn't start this practice to shuffle paper and bill hours. After spending over fifteen years in the trenches of corporate litigation - first at a Bay Street giant, then running point on some pretty gnarly commercial disputes - I realized something was off with how most firms operate.
Too many lawyers treat cases like transactions. They're scared to take risks, scared to actually fight when the other side throws punches. That's not how I work. When a client walks through that door, they're usually facing something that could tank their business or cost them millions. They don't need someone who'll play nice - they need someone who'll go to war for them.
I founded Obsidrix Stormborn Legal in 2018 because Toronto's business community deserved better. Better strategy, better execution, and yeah - better results. We're not interested in being the biggest firm in the city. We want to be the one companies call when everything's on the line.

Every firm's got a history. Ours is about taking chances and proving doubters wrong.
Hung up my shingle after nearly losing my mind at a corporate firm that cared more about billable hours than actual wins. Started with one office, one assistant, and three clients who took a gamble on me.
Won a $12M commercial contract dispute that everyone said we'd lose. Opposing counsel had twice the lawyers and ten times the budget. Didn't matter. That case put us on the map.
Brought on three senior associates who actually gave a damn about winning cases. Not just resume-builders looking for their next jump. We doubled our office space and started handling multiple complex files simultaneously.
Added IP protection and M&A advisory after clients kept asking if we handled those areas. Hired specialists who matched our approach - aggressive, strategic, and allergic to losing.
We're not slowing down. With a track record that speaks for itself and a team that's hungry for the next challenge, we're positioning ourselves as the go-to firm for businesses facing their toughest fights.
We don't hire people who just want a safe gig. We want fighters who get the stakes.
If you're facing a business dispute or commercial challenge that needs serious legal firepower, let's talk. First consultation is straightforward - we'll tell you if we can help and how we'd approach your situation.
