About

Provided by Dentons Canada LLP

Disputes are part of doing business. Resolving them is our business.

At Dentons, the priority of our litigation and dispute resolution lawyers is to enable our clients to resolve their disputes in the most timely and cost effective means possible, and to preserve their reputation. We also assist our clients in assessing and managing their risks to minimize the potential for future disputes. We are pioneers in providing settlement counsel and litigation risk analysis to businesses operating in Canada.

Where the interests of our clients cannot be achieved through a negotiated or mediated resolution, our litigators are experienced, skillful, intelligent and energetic advocates regardless of the forum. We have successfully represented clients before every level of court, and all types of commissions of inquiry and administrative tribunal.

While our litigators have a broad spectrum of knowledge across industry sectors, we are also able to draw upon the expertise of our colleagues in other sector and practice groups to respond rapidly and seamlessly to our clients’ concerns regardless of the industry. From our offices in six of Canada’s major financial centers, Dentons’ lawyers seamlessly deliver local and national innovative alternative dispute resolution services
