No one wants to find themselves in a business dispute, let alone one that threatens to turn into a full-blown court battle. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens.

But before ending up in court, our Litigation Group lawyers look for alternative approaches to resolving what may seem like an intractable issue. Unlike many law firms, at Ricketts Harris we believe going to trial must be a last resort, not the first step.

Our philosophy is that strong, results-oriented advocacy produces the best results for our clients – quickly, effectively and efficiently as possible.

This is one reason why we represent clients in nearly every business sector, not just in Ontario but also from across Canada, throughout the US and around the world.

They see that we recognise negotiating, mediating or arbitrating might be the best way to resolve a dispute, leading clients through the process – any process – as their strong advocate. And when going to trial or appearing before a tribunal becomes inevitable, our tough, savvy, deft, knowledgeable and experienced lawyers will stand up for you.

We've helped clients deal with the full range of disputes that can arise.
