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.
