Dispute resolution

In the Toronto office of McMillan, Brett Harrison represents Citibank in bringing an application before the Ontario Superior Court for certain relief against a high-profile Mexican high net worth individual and his related-investment vehicles. The bank sought disclosure regarding a global investment structure that includes Canadian partnerships, Delaware LLCs and Cayman segregated portfolio corporations to hold Spanish real estate investments. Jeffrey Levine, along with Stephen Brown-Okruhlik and Samantha Gordon, represents cannabis market entity iAnthus in defending a secondary-market securities class action alleging misrepresentations arising from public disclosure. The case involves allegations of various misrepresentations by iAnthus and its leadership. The claim involves alleged losses to investors during a period when iAnthus’ market capitalization fell by over $100 million. The McMillan team successfully opposed a motion seeking broad pre-discovery production in connection with the plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed with the statutory claim.
