Forecourt · Counsel and inquiry

A confidential consultation. We assign the team.

Tell us what happened. Forecourt assigns lawyers and licensed investigators from one digital door.

Request a consultation

Reply within one business day

A principal reads what you send. Urgent briefings are read sooner.

Licensed investigators

Field work that can be explained under oath.

Trial and appellate counsel

Commercial disputes, fraud, and what follows a judgment.

Inquiry available 24/7

When the facts will not wait for office hours.

Canada

This English site is for Canada.

The consultation, the steps after a breach, and the legal pages on this site follow Canadian law, including federal privacy law and the law of Ontario for this website. Matters here are assigned to professionals entitled to do that work in Canada.

Italy

The same door, under Italian and European law.

Forecourt also assigns lawyers admitted in Italy and works with private investigators licensed in Italy. The sequence is the same: a briefing, then a written mandate. The law is not. An Italian file is not a Canadian proceeding.

The Italian site

Consultation

A confidential consultation, before anyone is retained.

Who you are. What happened. How much is involved, and how soon it needs a reply. Nothing is filed, and no mandate is opened, until you ask. Write to briefing@web-forecourt.com if a form is the wrong instrument.

Before you write

How soon will someone reply?: A principal replies within one business day, and sooner when you mark the matter urgent. The briefing is read and the desk is assigned before anyone is retained.
Does submitting the form retain anyone?: No. A mandate is written later, if at all. A consultation is a first contact. It does not create a solicitor-client or investigator-client relationship and it does not start a limitation strategy.
When do fees start?: Nothing is billed for sending a briefing. Fees start only if you accept a written mandate. How those fees are structured depends on the file and is set out before work begins.
What if a limitation period or court date is close?: Put the date in the summary and mark the matter urgent. A consultation does not stop a clock. A principal will read urgent briefings first.
