Commercial Litigation<\/h1>\n\n\n

Undisputed excellence inside and outside the courtroom <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ultra-competitive corporate environment, you can\u2019t make it to the top without running into a few battles. And you can\u2019t hope to stay there without resolving your disputes effectively and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At Miller Thomson, our Commercial Litigation Group works with leading Canadian and multinational companies to develop litigation strategies that match their corporate priorities, doing whatever it takes to deliver successful outcomes while minimizing costs and disruption.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are in conflict with a rival company, rogue employee, former commercial partner, industry regulator or even the government, you can trust our creative and pragmatic team to fight your corner, so that you can focus on your core business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depth and breadth of expertise <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With over 125 lawyers in our Group across the country, we are experienced in litigating \u2014 and winning \u2014 cases in virtually all areas of commercial litigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the stakes are high, Canadian and international businesses turn to the leading counsel in our team for the experience, skills and perspective they bring to the provision of high quality, practical and innovative solutions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commercial Litigation Group also leverages Miller Thomson\u2019s national reach and full-service structure, drawing on the firm\u2019s cross-practice expertise to provide tailored litigation support that responds to the individual needs of clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You define success, we achieve it <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The business-oriented lawyers in our Commercial Litigation Group begin every matter by identifying and understanding your immediate and long-term goals. These commercial objectives then become our singular focus in the development and aggressive pursuit of a winning litigation strategy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want a paint-by-numbers litigation team, you\u2019ve come to the wrong firm. Our team views litigation as a business tool and every single action our seasoned professionals take is another targeted, deliberate step on the road to a successful resolution.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible, pragmatic counsel <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In business disputes, victory doesn\u2019t always have to come in the courtroom. In fact, in an era of backlogged and under-resourced court systems, a trial verdict is among the lengthiest and least likely ways to conclude your corporate conflict. Our team utilizes the full range of dispute resolution tools available, including negotiated settlements, mediation and arbitration.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

When matters escalate and court action is called for, the professionals in our team have the experience and know-how to keep matters moving along quickly and the formidable advocacy skills to advance a compelling case before judges at every level of court in any Canadian jurisdiction. Our lawyers also have vast experience appearing before industry-specific tribunals such as the Federal Competition Tribunal, as well as various provincial securities commissions and environmental assessment boards. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
