Zahar's primary office is at Wildeboer Dellelce Place, Suite 800, 365 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, M5H 2V1. 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 Zahar usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Zahar 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 Zahar for a business case?

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

• Does Zahar offer a free consultation?

  Zahar charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Zahar's office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check Zahar'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. Zahar gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Zahar evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Zahar'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 Zahar?

  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. Zahar will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Zahar accepting new business clients right now?

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