infrastructure litigation practice. We act for owners, developers,

underwriters in high-stakes disputes arising from projects that shape

skylines and infrastructure across Canada and internationally – from

complex residential developments to multi-billion-dollar transit, energy,

and public works projects.

do it.

industry. You will not wait years for real advocacy experience – you will

build it here.

performance environments. You thrive on responsibility and take pride in

Familiarity with lien claims and procedures

The ability to manage complex, document-intensive files

Excellent judgment, organization, and attention to detail
