Cassels brings a rare depth and breadth of experience to both the negotiating table and the courtroom. We offer recognized expertise in resolving complex legal issues, pride ourselves on developing inventive and effective means of solving problems, and have a reputation for assertive and efficient settlements built on a track record of favorable motion and trials decisions – counsel know that we are ready, willing, and able to go all the way to court.
Our litigators represent clients at all levels of federal and provincial courts including the Alberta, BC, and Ontario Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
