Atlantic Canada’s Leading Company-Side Restructuring & Litigation Boutique

Large Firm Strength. Small Firm Efficiency 

Our lawyers are built for moments that matter. Our firm is one of Atlantic Canada’s fastest-growing independent law firms, with offices in St. John’s, Corner Brook, and Halifax. We specialize in Insolvency, Restructuring, Business law, Tax planning, Company reorganization, and Business disputes.

Our approach is different from our competitors. We do not rely on an army of lawyers to work our clients’ mandates. We present a highly efficient and exceptionally talented strike force to meet the task at hand as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

PURPOSE

High Quality, Top-Tier & Relentlessly Motivated.

We built this firm for entrepreneurs, operators, and owners, like you, who need real legal firepower without the fluff. Because, you’ve built something meaningful - A legacy, or a small business with a national scale, but maybe you’ve hit a wall and need a way through. We deliver “Big Firm” legal quality with a street-level understanding of what business owners actually go through. When the stakes are high, and survival or succession is on the line, we’re the lawyers you want in your corner.

MISSION

When the Stakes Are High, We Go Higher.

To truly know our clients - Their business, their challenges, and what’s at risk, and use that understanding as the foundation for bold, strategic action. We are here to lead Atlantic Canada in corporate restructuring and commercial litigation with integrity, creativity, and most importantly, results.

VISION

Company-Side Boutique Law Firm

Our vision is relentlessly focused on quality and accessibility. We aim to provide the calibre of service typically found in larger regional firms with the quality and nimbleness of a smaller, specialized team. We do not compromise on service or talent. We seek to represent the best clients in the region, and we understand that requires us to bring our “A Game” to every file we touch.

  • “You have a sense that we have the best with a high level of competence without the arrogance that many big city Lawyers bring.”

    Darren and his team have no BS or Lawyer speak. Our favourite part has been how you feel when you know you have competent people who have your back. When they seem to love winning the game and having fun.

  • “The trust I have is the biggest reason.”

    Darren and his team are simply wonderful. They are so knowledgeable and reliable. I know when I open a file with them that I am going to get the best service. I feel that no matter what issue I bring to Darren and his team, they have the knowledge and experience to help navigate through in the most efficient and simple way. I also know if things aren’t as straightforward as I would like that Darren and his team will act to keep my best interest at the forefront.

    – Kara Barrett, Community Business Development Corporation

  • “I don’t have to question if we are treading the proper path or if we are moving efficiently enough with Darren and his team.”

    The knowledge alone is outstanding. They’re also VERY accessible which is important to me.

    – Kara Barrett, Community Business Development Corporation

  • “This firm will not quit when they represent you.”

    – Peter Byrne, Newport Capital Corporation

  • “O’Keefe & Sullivan gives us that confidence.”

    We were referred to Darren directly – we wanted timely legal guidance and strong representation. Ultimately you are looking for a favorable resolution whether through negotiation or litigation.
