Overview
Commercial litigation should serve the business objective. We act for companies, financial institutions, and business owners in disputes between businesses, involving contracts, transactions, financing, and the underlying commercial relationship in disputes where legal strategy must be aligned with commercial reality.
Our work includes contract disputes, disputes between businesses, fraud and asset recovery matters, business torts, professional services disputes, injunctions, settlement enforcement disputes, and claims involving the misuse of corporate assets. We begin by understanding the client’s business, the risk, the leverage, and the point at which litigation will either create value or consume it.
We are well-known for focused, outcome-driven litigation. We do not overwork files. We identify the issues that will affect risk, settlement value, or result, then apply effort where it will make a difference.
Our commercial litigation experience includes high-profile litigation involving Ignite International Brands and Dan Bilzerian, where the court granted an interlocutory injunction prohibiting a major shareholder and former CEO from competing with the company. We have also acted in disputes involving the enforcement of settlement agreements with financial institutions, and resolved matters efficiently where early tactical action avoided unnecessary litigation steps. Whether the matter requires urgent court intervention, negotiation, arbitration, trial, or appeal, we bring judgment, preparation, and persuasive advocacy to business disputes.
Our expertise with arbitration is critical to many of our clients. Arbitration can offer privacy, focus, and procedural flexibility. It can also become inefficient if the process is not managed carefully. We represent clients in arbitrations involving contracts, business relationships, professional services, real estate, insurance, employment, and other substantial disputes.
Our work begins before the hearing. We help clients select the right arbitrator, shape the procedural framework, define the issues, manage documents and expert evidence, and prepare witnesses. The goal is to preserve the advantages of arbitration while ensuring the case is presented with the rigour the dispute requires.
Our lawyers bring court-tested advocacy to private dispute resolution. We keep the process tied to the merits, the evidence, and the desired outcome. Whether the matter requires interim relief, negotiated resolution, or a full hearing, we provide clear strategy and vigorous advocacy.
