Services in Detail

Research

Foundlaw’s “bread and butter” is legal research. Foundlaw finds answers to legal issues and provides them to you in the form you find most convenient – whether it is a simple e-mail, a research memorandum or a full strategy memorandum analyzing your case. All of our research is delivered electronically and is accompanied by a digitally tabbed and side-barred brief of authorities.

Drafting

Foundlaw provides legal drafting services. You provide us with all of the necessary documents via a secure file transfer site, and we will prepare a first draft of your legal documents. We can draft an affidavit for your important client, a factum for your application, a statement of claim or defence for your new case, a motion record for your urgent injunction, or an appeal book for your upcoming hearing at the Court of Appeal.

Third Chair

Hire a dedicated research lawyer for the duration of your trial or hearing. The lawyer will be connected to you via Skype’s messaging system throughout the duration of your trial or hearing and can provide on-demand research and drafting services addressing any unanticipated issues that arise. You will no longer have to worry about being caught off-guard or pulling an all-nighter between hearing dates. Rest easy, focus on your hearing, and let Foundlaw take care of the rest.
