Their professionals are assisted by a support staff of about 100, including paralegals, legal assistants, law clerks, accountants, systems and human resource personnel. TDS has long been recognized as a centre of excellence in the areas of labour relations, employment law and civil litigation. Recently, LEXPERT® The Business Magazine for Lawyers recognized them as being the only Manitoba firm at the centre of its "Bulls-Eye" of firms practicing corporate law in the Province.
TDS was one of the founding members of Lex Mundi, The World’s Leading Association of Independent Law Firms and we continue to be its only Manitoba based firm. This organization, with its 160 firms, has members in every province of Canada, state of the United States and 100 countries throughout the world. Lex Mundi firms practice in more that 50 areas of law and, in order to qualify for and maintain membership, firms must meet strict quality control criteria. Their firm assists clients in addressing all of their technology-related legal needs, including, the acquisition, use, development, registration, licensing, protection, financing, enforcement and sale of knowledge-based assets. Lawyers practising in this area negotiate, prepare and review a wide range of technology-related agreements and policies ranging from software licences, development agreements, escrow agreements, distribution agreements, equipment leases and corporate policies relating to e-mail and Internet access by employees.
