Yes, we employ a top notch team of tax specialists with a longstanding reputation. Yes, our litigators have a stellar track record of success. Yes, our commercial lawyers have helped hundreds of clients succeed, from blue-chip companies to start-ups. Just as a great CV never really closes the sale on a candidate, we think it is important to explore at greater depth what makes Spiegel Sohmer the firm it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The value we deliver, the values we espouse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What exactly do we do? What is our key value-adding role in serving our clients? One theme is consistently apparent: when it comes to our legal expertise, at Spiegel Sohmer, <strong>we do the heavy lifting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it in a nutshell. We stand armed and ready to address your company\u2019s most daunting business challenges on every front. The things that keep you up at night \u2013 that\u2019s what we thrive on. At Spiegel Sohmer, we have consistently stood out in the market because we can take off our lawyer\u2019s glasses and see matters from a business\u2019s point of view. That\u2019s where we shine. That\u2019s how we connect.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation, entrepreneurship, and working closely with our clients<\/strong> are the three pillars of the Spiegel Sohmer experience. We work hard to understand your business priorities and your growth plans, and we see the intrinsic value of close collaboration on every file.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flying new colours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We started out with this strategic reflection on what we do and why, and, by enlisting the services of design firm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecorce.ca\">\u00c9corce<\/a>, this paved the way to changing the outward expression of our brand and the tools we use to communicate.<\/p>\n<p>Two colours dominate our new brand: orange and anthracite.<\/p>\n<p>Orange is about energy, warmth and passion.<\/p>\n<p>Anthracite is calm, cerebral, focused.<\/p>\n<p>They are expressions of both facets of our professional character: a team ready to listen to and understand a client\u2019s reality, while bringing profound expertise and the highest level of preparation to the table.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prestigious and contemporary, agile and modern, our new communication tools reflect our clients\u2019 experience. Spiegel Sohmer is not an ivory tower filled with legal theorists. It is a firm that is plugged in to the local business community, with an informal atmosphere where a multitalented team exchanges ideas. That is another aspect of what sets us apart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful, relevant content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud to introduce our <strong>Ideas<\/strong> section, where this text appears. &nbsp;It is where our lawyers share their thoughts and advice and where essential reference materials for our clients are close at hand, saving you the effort of searching for them.
