Litigation: General Commercial

With recognized leaders in Canadian litigation law, Goodmans’ litigators have won some of the most important and high-profile cases that have been decided in the Supreme Court of Canada. Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution Group has a reputation for being tenacious, energetic, and fearless in the courtroom.

Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice covers the full spectrum of disputes, and have litigated virtually everything – with experts in civil litigation, product liability, IP, securities, corporate commercial, insolvency and restructuring, construction, libel/slander, employment, technology, real estate and more.

We have acted in numerous matters involving shareholder disputes and hostile take-over bids for public companies, cases involving asset or share purchase agreements, shareholder class actions involving allegations of securities fraud, as well as in proceedings before the OSC involving such allegations.

Goodmans’ litigators regularly appear in all levels of court, and we also represent our clients before a variety of administrative and regulatory tribunals. Recognizing that many cases settle, our litigators are true negotiation advocates and have had tremendous success in mediation, arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution strategies. However, when litigation is necessary, we pursue our clients’ objectives while continually evaluating risks, expenses, and options.
