Estate and Power of Attorney Disputes
Demographics are changing, and so is the legal landscape of estates and substitute decision making. As part of our diverse range of practice areas, we also review and provide litigation and dispute resolution services for contentious estate matters, including disagreements over the administration of wills and trusts. We also assist with challenges and legal disputes related to the administration of a grantor’s Power of Attorney for Personal Care and Property, pursuant to the Substitute Decisions Act. Our affinity towards building close connections and positive rapport with our clients helps alleviate some of the sensitivities and emotional strains that are inherent in these types of conflicts.
Privacy
The ever expanding technological revolution has made privacy illusory. From credit card and banking information to government files and electronic health records, breach of privacy can be serious and costly. Our litigation team is at the forefront of this developing area of the law.
Complex Civil Cases & Class Proceedings
For every problem, there is a solution. We pride ourselves on handling complex litigation issues that don’t fit into pre-defined categories. Institutional negligence, environmental damages, and government neglect are all areas of active file work for our team of professionals. If justice is best served by bringing many claims at once, as opposed to just a few, we will prosecute claims on a Class Action basis.
Commercial Litigation
From partnership and shareholder disagreements to contractual disputes, including construction law, our team has the skill set to provide the small contractor or the large developer the strategic solutions to protect their investment. We also assist with the enforcement of security agreements, including power of sale proceedings.
