Litigation Lawyer Toronto

Our most common files involve breach of contract, employment, property, professional negligence, and personal injury disputes that require customized resolution strategies based on your particular situation.

We start with an internal case review of the facts, goals and risks. Strategy is then influenced by the complexity of the dispute, court jurisdiction and whether alternative options (e.g., mediation) could resolve your matter faster.

Fees may be billed hourly or as flat amounts for certain services, with a retainer payment required. Transparent billing practices provide detailed monthly dockets. Additional costs could include court filing, expert or admin fees.

We provide frequent updates by your preferred method (email, phone or in-person). Important milestones, court dates and strategy changes are communicated regularly so you are kept informed and can make timely decisions.

Early case assessment, streamlined document handling and proactive scheduling of court motions help to minimize delay. We focus on timelines that suit your situation while respecting court process.

A free half-hour consultation is available to review your case, discuss options and answer initial questions with no further obligation.

All client information is safeguarded by secure document handling, confidentiality undertakings and compliance with privacy regulations. We ensure sensitive information is shared only with essential contacts.

Costs vary based on case complexity, court process (e.g., simplified versus regular), discovery requirements and whether the dispute settles before or at trial.

1. Issuing the claim or defence
2. Discovery (document exchange)
3. Mediation/negotiation
4. Pre-trial motions
5. Trial (if needed)
6. Appeal (where applicable)

We encourage settlements aligned with your goals through mediation or negotiation. Where these do not succeed on fair terms, we focus on trial readiness through preparation.

With more than 3 decades of collective practice, our resolved files span every sector including employment, contract and property. Results depend on details, but we work to maximize successful outcomes.

Yes - we offer video meetings and flexible scheduling for evenings or weekends to meet your requirements.

Documents such as contracts, correspondence, photos, financial records or other evidence relating to your dispute are helpful. A chronology of events may also streamline discussion.

All communication and negotiation on the file are handled by our team directly to ensure consistency and protect your position. You are copied on key correspondence.

We often recommend mediation or arbitration to save time and cost. Here the parties work together to solve problems, while keeping the option of litigation open.

We review the evidence, precedents and jurisdictional issues to formulate a balanced risk analysis. This gives you the facts for an informed decision whether to pursue/settle a claim.

Ongoing budget updates, staged billing for certain predictable costs and advance discussion of anticipated charges help to keep your costs clear and manageable.
