Business Disputes

We recognize that disputes, although preferably avoided, are still a part of doing business. Our goal is to identify material issues in any dispute, as soon as possible, and help guide our clients to the best resolution, in the most cost-effective way.

We appear at every level of court in the Atlantic Provinces, Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada. As well, we regularly appear at all levels of administrative and regulatory tribunals, and in arbitrations and mediations  in Atlantic Canada, nationally and internationally. We regularly act as counsel, or as arbitrators and mediators.

Our strength is our experience handling highly specialized and/or complex matters, including:

  • Appellate Advocacy
  • Arbitrations (domestic and international)
  • Class Action Litigation
  • Competition Claims
  • Constitutional and Charter of Rights Claims
  • Contractual Disputes and Commercial Litigation
  • Corporate Governance and Shareholder Disputes
  • Defamation, Libel and Slander
  • Environmental Litigation
  • Estate Litigation
  • Franchise Litigation
  • Intellectual Property Claims
  • IT/Computer Litigation
  • Mediations
  • Pension Litigation
  • Product Liability Claims
  • Professional Negligence Claims
  • Securities Litigation
  • Shareholder Disputes and Issues
  • Tax Litigation
