We work with money services businesses every day. A quick look here tells you whether we're the right fit, before you book a call.
- You received a FINTRAC notice, penalty, or revocation warning
- You're registering an MSB or bringing a foreign MSB into Canada
- You're buying or selling an MSB and need it done cleanly
- You want one flat price you can plan around, not a running meter
- You want the cheapest DIY template with no legal review
- Your matter is unrelated to money services or FINTRAC
- You expect a lawyer to promise a particular regulatory result
- You're looking for a general business lawyer rather than a dedicated FINTRAC specialist

Most MSB owners who call aren't in trouble because they did something wrong. They're facing a regulator, a deadline, or a deal, and they need a lawyer who moves fast.
A FINTRAC notice landed
A missed deadline or a compliance gap turned into a Notice of Intent to Revoke or a monetary penalty, and the clock is already running.
Registration feels like a maze
MSB or FMSB registration, an AML program, a risk assessment, policies. One wrong step can delay your banking or trigger a review later.
You've been burned by legal bills
Retainers, a meter running on every call, an invoice you can't predict. You want a number you can plan around before you commit a dollar.
You don't need a big firm that treats you like a file number. You need one lawyer who answers, tells you plainly where you stand, and quotes a flat fee before doing the work.
