Litigation: General Commercial: Highly Regarded

Ivanov Katz LLP has a sophisticated, broad-based commercial litigation practice serving businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals across Ontario. Drawing on top-tier litigation experience gained on Bay Street and at leading Toronto boutiques, our lawyers handle complex contractual and business disputes with a practical, strategic and business-minded approach.

Our commercial work includes disputes concerning business agreements, including the interpretation and enforceability of contractual terms such as restrictive covenants, limitations of liability, indemnities and liquidated damages; agreements for the purchase and sale of businesses; joint ventures; financing arrangements; supply of goods and services; commercial leases; and corporate fraud. We also handle related shareholder and partnership disputes, including oppression claims, fiduciary duty disputes and disputes concerning corporate opportunities.

Our lawyers regularly appear on the Commercial List and have extensive experience in urgent and complex matters, including injunctions, asset preservation and other pre-emptive remedies. We also represent clients in private arbitrations. Across matters, we focus on quickly understanding the issues affecting a client's business and selecting the right tools—negotiation, arbitration, litigation—to achieve the client's objectives and deliver value for legal spend.
