Our Approach

We take a business savvy approach to advocacy and representation with the goal of resolving clients' disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our lawyers work closely with our clients to develop and implement strategies that reflect business risks and promote the best possible outcome for our clients.

Our litigation practice is complemented by the comprehensive legal expertise held by our lawyers practising in the firm's dynamic and leading business law groups, including Infrastructure and Construction, Corporate/Commercial, Tax, Intellectual Property, Securities and Corporate Finance, Real Estate, and Energy and Resources.

Our lawyers have extensive backgrounds and proven ability to resolve disputes without recourse to trial, enabling our clients to avoid litigation and focus on their business goals. Our lawyers are adept at using non-public alternative dispute resolution techniques to find cost effective and timely solutions to client problems through the use of mediation, arbitration, negotiation, investigation and fact-finding, and other confidential alternative dispute resolution techniques.

Davis LLP is a fully integrated international law firm that provides a Canada-wide platform to achieve our commitment to excellence in litigation and dispute resolution and the uncompromising representation of our clients.

Professional Excellence and Leadership

Since the founding of Davis in 1892 by one of the pre-eminent trial lawyers of the day, Edward Davis, K.C., Davis has been a distinguished litigation firm. The lawyers practising in our National Litigation Group are leaders in their respective fields. Many of our litigators have been recognized as leading practitioners by such authoritative publications as Martindale-Hubbell and Lexpert, among other distinctions. Our Litigation Group continues to attract top law students, many of whom clerked for Superior and Appellate Court Judges prior to joining Davis LLP.

Our Group currently enjoys the benefit of the strategic insight and skills of two former Judges who are practicing lawyers in the firm. Our lawyers serve on a variety of legal advisory groups, corporate and not-for-profit Boards, and legal education panels and frequently lecture at leading Canadian law schools and Continuing Legal Education conferences.
