Our Open House was a Big Success!

We would like to thank everybody who joined us in making our open house a great success! On Thursday, June 16 we opened our doors and welcomed friends, family and members of the legal community to tour our new office space and meet the members of our growing team here at Lenehan Musgrave LLP.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening of networking and great food provided by local catering company “Kitchen Door Catering”. Again, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all who were in attendance, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Please enjoy some photographs of our event taken by local photographer, Judith Morris, below!

$70,000.00 Cost Award!

Lenehan Musgrave LLP is pleased to report that a client of the firm has received a $70,000.00 cost award. Cost awards are ordered to contribute to the successful party’s legal fees and disbursements.  Costs are in the discretion of the Court, but a successful party is generally entitled to a cost award.

Trial lawyers Diana Musgrave and Daniel Wood achieved a successful result for their client after an eight day trial, which was heard in May, June and August of 2015.  Justice Jollimore of the Supreme Court (Family Division) considered the complex nature of the case when deciding that a $70,000.00 award would do justice between the parties.
