Civil & Commercial Litigation

Disputes arise in almost every field of human endeavour.  We have consistently proven that most of them can be settled with effective advocacy and skilful negotiation.  Although we never underestimate the risks or costs of going to court, when that is the only option, we will not hesitate to use our years of courtroom experience to vigorously advance the interests of our clients.

Dermot Nolan is certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada as a specialist in civil litigation with over 35 years of experience at all levels of court (including the Supreme Court of Canada), and Franco Ciarlo is a seasoned litigator with over 15 years of courtroom experience.  Our litigation team is fortified by the energy and creativity of our newest lawyers, Heather McKinnon and Ned Nolan. 

Our services include lawsuits of all kinds: prosecuting them, defending them, settling them, mediating them, and trying them in court.  Whether it’s personal or business, about property or injury, an estate, a broken contract, a complex commercial dispute, or simply the collection of a bad debt - we can help.
