Business

With all professionals at SWVG Inc. practicing in corporate and commercial litigation, we understand all the elements necessary to build a successful case.

We evaluate every matter individually, and provide clients with various strategies depending on the ultimate result our client wants to achieve.

Depending on the nature of the dispute, be it a shareholders dispute, negotiating a merger or acquisition, mediation or any issue related to a company, at SWVG Inc. we assemble the most fierce pack where required to ensure the best result.

As every case is different, every single case requires its own individual attention and strategy.

As there are so many disputes which fall under the banner of corporate, commercial and civil law, we cannot list all areas that we focus on, however, if you are involved in a dispute, no matter what type, we will be able to assist.

Family

At SWVG INC, we approach family matters realistically and transparently with our clients.  Where children are involved, we always seek to ensure the best interests of the children are protected over and above anything else.

We appreciate that these matters can cause extreme stress, and view our role, aside for achieving the desired result for our client, to remove as much stress as possible in regard to any disputes, from domestic violence, divorce, and relocation matters.

We also offer mediation services, where there are prospects of the parties to the dispute resolving it without resorting to litigation.

Real Estate

At SWVG INC we can assist in all property related transactions, from drafting agreements of sale of property, lease agreements, landlord / tenant disputes and evictions.

When it comes to selling a property, the last thing you want is a dispute with your buyer / seller.  Most agencies use a template agreement, which may potentially hinder your rights. We vet agreements to ensure your rights are protected.

When it comes to evictions, not only do we understand the frustration involved when your tenant is not paying, but we similarly understand the frustration where a landlord is not insuring the property is maintained and in good state.  We provide transparent advice taking into account the commercial considerations, for instance the effect on your bottom line where a tenant is not paying his rent.
