Common Questions
What types of disputes fall under commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation covers a wide range of business disputes including contract disagreements, shareholder conflicts, fraud, professional negligence, and debt recovery. Our team handles matters at all levels of Ontario courts and before arbitration panels and administrative tribunals.
How long does a commercial lawsuit typically take in Ontario?
The timeline varies with complexity. Straightforward matters may resolve within months through negotiation or mediation, while complex trials can take two to four years to reach a final decision. We work to identify the most efficient and cost-effective path to resolution.
Should I try to settle my dispute before going to trial?
In most cases, yes. Settlement through negotiation or mediation is typically faster and less costly than a full trial. However, our lawyers are fully prepared to aggressively litigate when a fair resolution cannot otherwise be achieved.
