Litigation/ADR
Our group acts on behalf of a variety of clients including sole proprietors, family owned businesses, professionals, large and small private companies, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations. We are all skilled negotiators and will do everything possible to minimize the impact of litigation, whether as plaintiff or defendant. Once in court we are formidable opponents.
We recognize the economic, organizational and human impact of a dispute, no matter what size. We work with managers and business owners to exercise judgment, get to the heart of the matter, bring clarity to the situation, and minimize litigation's intrusive impact on their operations. Our litigators have extensive experience appearing before all levels of trial and appellate 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. Where appropriate, we assist clients in seeking solutions by employing alternative dispute resolution techniques such as mediation and arbitration.
