About

Provided by McMillan LLP

McMillan is a highly regarded international business litigation law firm whose commercial litigators have a well-earned reputation for creativity and effectiveness in bringing disputes to a satisfactory conclusion, both inside and outside the courts.

To deliver a complete solution,  no matter the nature of the corporate or commercial dispute, McMillan’s litigators join forces with our industry specialists from our competition, intellectual property, real estate, securities and other areas of practice.

McMillan’s litigators consistently assess risk and opportunities and weigh options with the firm’s clients. We understand that litigation is not always the preferred option, so we help clients pursue a full range of resolution avenues, including early negotiated settlements and alternative dispute resolution methods. If we proceed to court, our business litigation lawyers are prepared to vigorously advance our clients’ commercial interests.

As a leading Canadian business law firm handling corporate and commercial disputes, McMillan helps clients maintain their focus on business imperatives and growth while litigating and resolving contract disputes, partnership disputes, shareholder disputes, banking issues and/or bankruptcy and insolvency issues. We also successfully defend our commercial clients in class action lawsuits to preserve their reputation and brand value.
