You Define Success, We Achieve it
The business-oriented lawyers in our Commercial Litigation Group begin every matter by identifying and understanding your immediate and long-term goals. These commercial objectives then become our singular focus in the development and aggressive pursuit of a winning litigation strategy.
If you want a paint-by-numbers litigation team, you’ve come to the wrong firm. Our team views litigation as a business tool and every single action our seasoned professionals take is another targeted, deliberate step on the road to a successful resolution.
Flexible, Pragmatic Counsel
In business disputes, victory doesn’t always have to come in the courtroom. In fact, in an era of backlogged and under-resourced court systems, a trial verdict is among the lengthiest and least likely ways to conclude your corporate conflict. Our team utilizes the full range of dispute resolution tools available, including negotiated settlements, mediation and arbitration.
When matters escalate and court action is called for, the professionals in our team have the experience and know-how to keep matters moving along quickly and the formidable advocacy skills to advance a compelling case before judges at every level of court in any Canadian jurisdiction. Our lawyers also have vast experience appearing before industry-specific tribunals such as the Federal Competition Tribunal, as well as various provincial securities commissions and environmental assessment boards.
