Breach of Contract Counsel

We act for lenders, borrowers, and counterparties in disputes over loan agreements, guarantees, derivatives, and other financial instruments — where the sums are large and the documentation is dense.

When a counterparty becomes insolvent, timing and priority decide outcomes. We act for creditors, receivers, and debtors in receivership applications and insolvency-adjacent commercial disputes.

We represent parties in cross-border arbitration and enforcement — coordinating strategy across jurisdictions and counterparties.

We represent beneficiaries, trustees and estate stakeholders in contested wills, trusts and fiduciary disputes.

We represent businesses in complex commercial disputes involving contracts, torts, partnerships, debt recovery, commercial fraud and breach of fiduciary duty.

We enforce and defend complex commercial agreements — from repudiation and non-performance to damages and specific performance across multi-party and cross-border arrangements.

We act for majority and minority shareholders in oppression claims, deadlock, buyouts, derivative actions and governance conflicts — protecting value while resolving control.

We litigate high-value property disputes — ownership, title, trust and development conflicts where significant assets are at stake.

Litigation-informed advisory work for boards, executives, and in-house teams — assessing exposure, structuring the position, and resolving matters before they harden into proceedings.

When assets, evidence, or the status quo are at immediate risk, we obtain urgent interlocutory and ex parte relief — often within days — to protect the business while the merits are litigated.

The Toronto Commercial List is a specialized forum for complex commercial disputes. We assess promptly whether your matter qualifies, and run the case-managed process to your advantage.

We act in private commercial arbitration under Canadian frameworks — shareholder, franchise, construction and commercial mandates.

We prosecute and defend appeals before Ontario and British Columbia appellate courts — assessing prospects candidly and arguing decisively.

Trial counsel for matters that will be decided at hearing — on our own mandates, and as dedicated advocates brought in on files run by others.
