Allan Sternberg is a Partner at Ricketts Harris LLP. He is
a highly regarded General, Commercial and Real Estate
litigator. He has built his practice through ongoing success
representing clients involved in acrimonious lawsuits and acting as
an advisor and counsel to warring factions within privately held
companies. These matters have afforded him opportunities to
appear before the Supreme Court of Canada, Federal Court Trial
Division, all levels of Ontario Courts, and various regulatory
bodies such as the Ontario Securities Commission and the Investment
Dealers Association.
Allan’s practice emphasizes complex real
estate, commercial and securities issues that are generating as much
out of a rule of law as they are out of the sheer competitiveness on
the part of his entrepreneurial clients. Allan has a high
profile and his files usually involve high stakes and complicated
disputes.
Allan has outstanding legal knowledge, strong
inter-personal skills and a good understanding of business realities
and intricate financial issues. His style, advice and guidance
is particularly well appreciated in small private companies where
power, decision-making and strong egos reside with just a few
critical shareholders. To this end, he represents his clients
both in court and by providing strategic advice and counsel with the
aid of mitigating the impact of the litigation proceedings on their
business. He has conducted trials, appeals, negotiations,
mediations and arbitrations in cases involving real estate,
condominiums, commercial landlord and tenant disputes, commercial
transactions, corporate law, contracts, shareholders disputes,
partnership, joint ventures, limited partnership, fiduciary
obligations, construction, mortgages and
guarantees.
