The law is clear: any law firm that is seeking to enforce an Anton Piller Order must retain an Independent Supervising Solicitor (ISS) to execute the Order.

At Investigation Counsel, we as the ISS for law firms seeking to preserve evidence by way of an Anton Piller Order. Our policing experience and extensive networks ensure that Anton Piller Orders are executed peacefully and properly. When Anton Piller Orders need to be executed at multiple locations simultaneously, we rely on our network of lawyers who have previously served as police officers and who have experience in executing Criminal Code search warrants.

The execution of an Anton Piller Order involves four phases: planning, execution, reporting, and evidence continuity. At Investigation Counsel, we invite law firms to discuss with us fixed fees for the first three phases of the execution of an Anton Piller Order.  The evidence continuity role of the ISS does not lend itself to fixed fee retainers.

Planning the execution of an Anton Piller Order is crucial. We recommend law firms contact us prior to bringing a motion for an Anton Piller Order to ensure the Order is drafted in a manner that allows for the desired outcome.
