Our dispute resolution practice spans the following areas: Aviation, Banking and Insolvency, Commercial, Class Actions, Corporate Proxy Litigation, Defamation and Media, Directors and Officers Liability, Environment, Health, Insurance, Privacy, Product Liability, Professional Liability, Professional Negligence, Professional Regulation, Real Estate Disputes, Securities, Shareholder/Oppression Litigation and more.
We have been involved in some of the province’s, and nation’s most significant litigation touching on such recent matters as the enforcement of judgments across the US/Canada border, potentially groundbreaking questions relating to the application of the values enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the Canadian common law, representing a client in what is know as the largest litigation in the history of Canada, acting in a significant case for the financial services industry, and acting in a leading edge privacy breach matter.
