When a former business partner launched a targeted online smear campaign against me, the potential damage to my professional reputation was immense and paralyzing. I needed an attorney who understood both the legal intricacies and the urgent need for a strategic, decisive response. Peter A. Downard at Fasken was exactly that. His deep, seven-year focus in defamation and media law was immediately evident. He didn't just see the legal case; he understood the narrative at play and the media landscape in which it was unfolding. Peter's client-centered approach meant he took the time to explain every option, from cease-and-desist strategies to potential litigation, without resorting to legalese. His calm, professional demeanor was a steadying force during a highly stressful period. Leveraging his recognized expertise—which his 'Lawyer of the Year' accolade in Toronto underscores—he crafted a multi-pronged strategy that resolved the matter efficiently and favorably, securing a retraction and removing the harmful content. Peter’s blend of sharp legal acumen and genuine personal commitment makes him an exceptional advocate. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone facing reputation-based legal challenges.
