Our Project Disputes team is one of Canada’s few long-standing, full-service practices specializing in resolving complex construction disputes. With extensive experience litigating and arbitrating high-profile domestic and international matters, we provide strategic advice to mitigate project risks and minimize disruption. When disputes do arise, we advocate for clients in arbitrations, adjudications, and before all levels of court and arbitral tribunals.
We understand the full project lifecycle and industry dynamics, which is why our clients include private and public owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects, designers, insurers, and lenders. Our team is sought after for their market acumen across industries, including in the construction of energy, mining, processing, infrastructure, agriculture and extraction facilities. We have also successfully advocated on behalf of our clients in disputes involving power plants, pipelines, transmission lines, mines, manufacturing facilities, bridges, highways, urban infrastructure, airports, seaports, and commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings.
Our nationally recognized project dispute lawyers are located in key business centres across Canada and are fully dedicated to resolving disputes locally and internationally. We have successfully completed litigation, arbitration and adjudication in Canada and across the globe in jurisdictions like Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, and under various contract models, such as EPC, EPCM, CCDC, FIDIC, hybrid and bespoke agreements.
