-- Otika Services, led by President and legal consultant Tarek Hamza, is redefining business-focused legal strategy in Montreal by providing practical, results-driven solutions for complex legal challenges. With an approach rooted in understanding the business implications of legal decisions, Hamza and his team have successfully guided entrepreneurs and corporations through high-stakes disputes that threatened operations and financial stability.
Commercial Lease Victory: Preserving a Strip Mall in Crisis
Earlier this year, a Montreal strip mall owner faced potential bankruptcy as multiple tenants threatened to terminate their leases due to reduced foot traffic from nearby construction. By analyzing each lease agreement and negotiating tailored solutions—including temporary rent breaks and long-term benefit assessments—Hamza preserved tenant relationships and stabilized the landlord’s revenue. As a result, eight out of ten tenants remained, and the shopping center now enjoys higher occupancy than before the dispute.
Corporate Liability Resolution: Protecting a Growing Business
In another case, a rising Montreal company faced severe liability after an employee was involved in a rental car accident while on business travel. With overlapping insurance, venue, and arbitration challenges, Hamza coordinated a multi-jurisdictional defense and secured a resolution that fully compensated the victim while limiting the company’s exposure to its deductible. The case closed without setting damaging legal precedents, safeguarding the client’s long-term interests.
Employment Law Defense: Supporting a Montreal Tech Startup
Hamza also represented a local tech startup accused of discrimination following a workforce downsizing. By carefully reconstructing the company’s decision-making process and demonstrating objective financial and performance-based reasons for the termination, Hamza achieved a favorable settlement under mediation with minimal financial cost—allowing the startup to avoid prolonged litigation and focus on growth.
A Client-Centered Approach to Legal Consulting
Unlike traditional lawyers who focus solely on precedent, Hamza prioritizes cash flow, operations, and business relationships when advising clients. His real-world perspective as both a legal consultant and entrepreneur enables Otika Services to craft strategies that deliver measurable results in high-pressure environments.
“Legal issues aren’t just about the courtroom—they’re about whether a business can survive, grow, and keep its people employed,” said Tariq Hamza, President of Otika Services. “Our role is to design legal strategies that protect clients not only on paper, but in their day-to-day operations.”
