Litigation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

We help clients 'get their ducks in a row'. As the litigation process does not discriminate by size or type of business, our clients count on us to address their immediate concerns, get to the heart of the matter, bring clarity to the situation, exercise good judgment, and, above all, work with them to minimize litigation's intrusive impact on their operations.

Part of minimizing disruption and cost is knowing which fights are worth it. While we carry a very 'big stick' (and use it without hesitation when necessary), we won't waste your time, money or public image on pointless battles or posturing. Instead, we will direct resources to achieving the most sensible outcome within your goals, providing timely advice as to issues and options.

Our litigators have extensive trial and appellate experience, having appeared before all levels of courts, including the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Federal Court of Canada. We also represent clients before a wide range of regulatory boards and tribunals. We have fought numerous motions over injunctive remedies such as Mareva injunctions and Anton Piller Orders. As not all disputes should end up in court, we do assist clients in seeking solutions through alternative dispute resolution techniques such as mediation and arbitration.
