The Davis LLP Litigation Group comprises seasoned trial lawyers who skilfully pursue and protect our clients' interests.

Our highly proficient management of numerous complex cases involving multiple claims and parties has kept us at the forefront of important developments in the law, including class actions, injunctions, confidential information, banking, competition, employment, human rights, labour relations, family, intellectual property and international trade.

The National Litigation Group regularly acts for Fortune 500 corporations, private companies, financial institutions, educational institutions, professional regulatory bodies and their members, and entrepreneurs and individuals all operating in a vast array of industrial and business sectors. 

Our innovative counsel focuses on resolving disputes efficiently with clients' business objectives foremost in mind.

We have deep experience as trial, appellate and arbitration counsel with a distinguished record of successful resolutions and case wins. We regularly appear in all levels of court across Canada, including the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada, and before a wide range of administrative boards and tribunals.

Our Approach

Our business-savvy approach to advocacy and representation aims to resolve clients' disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We collaborate with our clients to develop and implement strategies that reflect business risks and promote the best possible outcome. We are highly adept at using non-public alternative dispute resolution techniques to solve client problems through the use of mediation, arbitration, negotiation, investigation and fact-finding, and other confidential alternative dispute resolution techniques. Our proven ability to resolve disputes without recourse to trial allows our clients to avoid litigation and focus on their business instead.

Our litigation practice is complemented by the comprehensive legal expertise held by our lawyers who practice 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.

Practice Areas

We use our talents and advocacy skills and well-honed research to win cases or obtain favourable settlements in a wide range of business disputes and regulatory proceedings. We specialize in litigation matters related to the following areas:

Since the founding of Davis in 1892 by one of the pre-eminent trial lawyers of the day, Edward Davis, K.C., Davis has remained a distinguished litigation firm.

Many of our litigators have received recognition as leading practitioners by such authoritative publications as Martindale-Hubbell and Lexpert, among other distinctions.

Our clients benefit from the strategic insight and skills of two former judges who practice in our 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.

Our Litigation Group continues to attract top law students, many of whom have clerked for Superior and Appellate Court Judges.
