Commercial Litigation

We understand that business disputes can not only impact a company's operations, but may also put its owners and shareholders at serious risk. As such, our approach to commercial litigation begins with anticipating every issue that may arise prior to a dispute being argued before a Judge or adjudicator, and developing a strategy that leads to the best possible outcome for you or your business, regardless of whether those issues are resolved before or after court.

We work with companies varying in size, from owner-operated businesses to large corporations, and have experience at all levels of provincial and federal courts, as well as before a number of administrative boards and tribunals.

Our commercial litigation team can provide the insight and expertise needed to ensure that any business dispute is resolved efficiently and effectively.
