and places special emphasis in his practice on:
• Commercial Litigation

John represents business clients in matters ranging from individual
business disputes to workplace issues encountered by management,
to complex contested matters, either in negotiated settlement
or court action. He has also been involved in motions for interlocutory
injunctions and related relief in matters providing for Mareva
Injunctions and Anton Piller Orders. John provides legal advice

in matters of bankruptcy and insolvency. Through the years he
has appeared at all levels of court in Ontario. John has acted
on behalf of sole proprietors, professionals, large and small
private companies, financial institutions, and not for profit
organizations.
John’s knowledge and experience in construction and real
estate enables him to provide owners, developers, general contractors,
subcontractors, material suppliers, sureties, mortgagees and
trustees in bankruptcy in the construction industry with practical
advice and ongoing legal support.
In dealing with estate litigation John represents individuals
and families in matters of contested Wills, interpretation and
enforceability of Wills and Trusts, mental incapacity, duress
and undue influence, duties of Executors and Trustees and rights
of beneficiaries.
An important aspect of John’s practice is his ability
to support other lawyers that, from time to time, may be seeking
to make a specialized referral for a client due to a conflict
or for a matter outside of their area of practice. John is sensitive
to the issues pertaining to the management of another lawyer’s
client, respecting existing client relationships.
