Litigation and assisting clients in pursuing or resolving lawsuits is at the heart of our practice. We are committed to working with our clients to identify their goals and develop a winning strategy in order to achieve the best outcome possible. We provide strong advocacy for our clients at every step of the litigation and dispute resolution process.

 

Our lawyers have extensive civil litigation experience and provide expert advice to our clients. We act on behalf of businesses, government, government agencies, post-secondary institutions, professional associations, labour, co-operative organizations, not-for-profit organizations, charities, foundations, and individuals in a diverse range of matters.

 

We regularly appear at all levels of the Ontario and Federal Courts on motions, at trials or on appeals. In addition to representing our clients before the courts, we also represent clients before all manners of administrative tribunals, agencies and commissions at both the Provincial and Federal level.
