All materials are handled under strict zero-data-retention protocols: your files are analyzed and then permanently deleted upon delivery of your report.
Step 2 We Analyze
Our team applies the Cohen v. Kealey & Blaney nine-factor analytical framework to the billing records. We examine the time dockets, stated hourly rates, task descriptions, complexity indicators, and retainer terms. We cross-reference entries against benchmark rate ranges for comparable Ontario legal work and identify patterns in the billing record that may be relevant to the assessment proceeding. No legal conclusions are drawn our analysis is observational and documentary.
