Drawing upon the subject matter expertise of the team, as well as other experts across the firm, we tailor our approach to minimize risk and overcome legal challenges through creative solutions. 

Our strengths span across industries and include expertise in such areas as product liability, securities regulation, competition/antitrust, directors’ and officers’ liability, and many others. We also devise effective tactics in defending class actions and utilizing alternative dispute resolution strategies to advance client objectives. Our group members are regularly retained by boards of directors and senior management of public corporations to conduct independent investigations and inquiries on a range of sensitive legal and ethical issues.

We act on a broad range of proceedings, from injunction applications to trials and appeals at all levels of provincial and federal courts, the Supreme Court of Canada, and the full spectrum of regulatory tribunals and arbitrations. We have also earned a reputation as cross-border specialists, working in collaborative teams with lawyers and experts from other jurisdictions, to ensure that the Canadian piece of litigation fits into global legal strategies.
