Rory Rogers, Q.C.

Partner

“If your business, reputation or money is at stake in litigation, be well armed and well prepared.”

Size up the competition.

Rory feels the key to litigation is to understand all options at an early stage. By providing clients with an early reasoned opinion as to the likely results of litigation, he ensures the appropriate decisions can be made on how to proceed with the litigation or whether to employ alternate dispute resolution strategies.
