Litigation: General Commercial: The Elite

About

Provided by Norton Rose Fulbright

Our litigators have extensive trial and appellate experience and regularly appear before all levels of the Canadian Courts, and before arbitrators and administrative tribunals. The complexity of our team, our seamless integration across offices and our impressive experience means we can respond swiftly and efficiently to disputes right from the early stages to resolution.

We handle commercial litigation of all sizes and we know that any matter can be a “bet-the-farm,” kind of litigation, depending on the scope of the client. Whether the case is a contract dispute, a class action, a regulatory issue or is industry-specific, we are always mindful of our clients’ need for efficiency and budget predictability.

A client-centred approach to litigation requires our lawyers to be creative, flexible and practical. While most litigation never proceeds to trial – our experienced trial teams have obtained numerous successful verdicts for our clients.
