Litigation and Conflict Resolution

Lawyers in our litigation team combine their knowledge and experience spanning several decades to handle litigation matters. They are often solicited for major cases involving complex issues and set themselves apart by their multidisciplinary approach, the breadth of their expertise and their thorough understanding of the reality in which their clients carry on business.

Our litigation lawyers cover a wide range of specialties:

  • Arbitration and mediation
  • Extraordinary remedies (injunctions, seizures, Anton Piller orders)
  • Insurance
  • Product liability
  • Professional liability
  • Restructuring and insolvency
  • Security interests and hypothecary recourses


More specifically in the area of commercial litigation, our expertise includes:

  • Breach of contract or confidentiality
  • Real estate litigation and commercial leases
  • Shareholder disputes

We have also developed considerable expertise in defending against class actions. For over 30 years, we have been successfully defending numerous clients in connection with class actions that have often raised complex issues, both at the authorization stage and on the merits. A class action involves more often than not significant economic and media considerations and is likely to call upon the subject organization's strategic and operational resources. We possess the experience, skills and know-how to manage such matters with regard to their complexity and frequently associated media coverage.

Our expertise in litigation and class actions is recognized by the legal directory Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory and several of our lawyers are recognized as experts in this field by the legal directories Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, The Best Lawyers in Canada, Benchmark Litigation Canada, the International Association of Defense Counsel and the American College of Trial Lawyers.
