Ivan's primary office is at 2000 Ave. McGill College, Bur. 1600, Montreal, QC, H3A 3H3. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new business attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ivan usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Ivan discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in business practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Ivan for a business case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Ivan walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Ivan offer a free consultation?

  Ivan charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Ivan's office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check Ivan's current terms during booking.

• How long do business cases in this state typically take?

  Simple business matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Ivan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ivan take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Ivan evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Ivan's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Ivan?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Ivan will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Ivan accepting new business clients right now?

  Ivan's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
