The work was licensed for use together with the activities of the law firm, with an alteration of color for gold. Our law firm chose the owl because
this bird is frequently associated with wisdom, knowledge and vision. We trust that our mascot will inspire us, bringing the wisdom and vision of
the owl - to seek out greater understanding and to look beyond what others see, in all our challenges and conquests.
Our first contact with The Enchanted Owl was in Quebec in 2007. The work provoked an immediate enchantment!
