Our Clients
We receive instructions from prospective clients and referrals from clients and other lawyers.
Some of our lawyers have acted for businesses of many dimensions; from small family-owned businesses to multi-national corporations, in a wide variety of businesses and industries. Whether based locally, or elsewhere in Canada, the US, Europe, Caribbean or China, Gilbertson Davis LLP’s team has commercial litigators who have advised and represented clients in all aspects of commercial and business law, and in all stages of litigation, including enforcement.
Our Commercial Litigators
Good commercial litigators are competitive resolvers.
They are client-focused, client goal-oriented, and experienced in the full range of dispute resolution forums, mechanisms and strategies to achieve client goals. We endeavour to safeguard client business interests while resolving disputes to their satisfaction. This is achieved through a broad range of experience and credentials so we can advise clients of all options available, both short term and long term, and the best steps available to achieve the best results, both from a business and legal position.
Some of our lawyers have been admitted and practised law in foreign jurisdictions (including England, Bermuda and New York), have both foreign and local legal education, including in the U.S. and U.K. and a number of our lawyers and law clerks speak languages including French, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Cantonese.
We are often consulted by those located in the United States, and in the past have been consulted by or retained in litigation by those (or matters located) in Alaska, California, Washington, Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida and Texas. Internationally, we have also been involved in litigation or arbitration with clients (or matters) located in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, England, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Monaco, Guyana, Liberia, South Africa, Angola, The Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, South Korea, Hong Kong, PRC and Australia.
We can provide sound advice and results-oriented representation in time sensitive matters. When there is need for immediate assistance from the courts clients turn to lawyers who have acted in such proceedings before. Gilbertson Davis LLP can serve your need with lawyers experienced in matters requiring immediate litigation response, for both local and international clients.
The Supreme Court of Canada has recently promoted better access to justice thorough summary judgment, partial summary judgment, and summary trials. This is good news for small and medium businesses who previously could not afford trial or the viability of a trial as a dispute resolving mechanism. Some of our lawyers have been at the vanguard of legal developments in this new access to justice, including both obtaining and responding to summary judgment motions, in widely reported and leading decisions in this field.
Gilbertson Davis LLP las lawyers with experience in preparing appeal documents, such as drafting leave applications and appeal factums, to achieve effective and successful written and oral advocacy. Some of our lawyers have appeared on appeals in all court in Ontario and in the Supreme Court of Canada.
