Urgent threats to rights, assets, or evidence require immediate action. Kugler Wechsler acts swiftly to obtain or oppose injunctions and extraordinary remedies before Québec courts.
When You Cannot Afford to Wait
Some disputes cannot wait for the ordinary pace of litigation. Assets may be moved, evidence may disappear, confidentiality may be breached, or property and contractual rights may be disrupted before a trial is ever reached.
The opening steps matter: choosing the correct urgent remedy, gathering the right evidence, and presenting the application with precision.
Kugler Wechsler handles emergency litigation and urgent applications before Québec courts. We act for clients seeking or opposing provisional injunctions, interlocutory injunctions, permanent injunctions, seizures before judgment, and Mareva injunctions (freezing orders) to preserve assets while a dispute is being litigated.
We Bring Speed, Control, and Precision
Our injunction and extraordinary remedies work also includes Anton Piller orders, which permit the search and seizure of evidence without prior notice, and Norwich orders, which require third parties to preserve or disclose information relevant to existing or anticipated litigation. These remedies are exceptional; they require a careful record, credible evidence, and advocacy that is forceful without overreaching. For applicants, we prepare a focused record that gives the court a reliable basis to act. For respondents, we move promptly to defend your position, challenge unsupported allegations, and narrow or defeat overbroad relief.
