ADR/ARBITRATION

Please refer to our Alternative Dispute Resolution section and our Family Law section.

APPELLATE LITIGATION

We have successfully acted for clients at the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.

CLASS ACTIONS

Litigating class actions in Ontario involves complex rules, legislation and administrative handling. We have experience in successfully navigating the complex rules and administrative burdens of pursuing claims for class action claimants.

PERSONAL INJURY

When serious injuries occur that were caused or in part caused by the actions or omissions of another, the injured party should seek immediate legal advice. We are well versed in the limitation period rules that may prohibit a plaintiff from pursuing an otherwise valid legal remedy. We discuss with the clients the strengths and weaknesses of their particular case and how to proceed if the client and lawyer believe that it would be advisable to do so.
