Civil Litigation
When your rights or interests have been harmed by another person,
company, or public authority, you may start a law suit in Court
for monetary compensation. The process by which you access these
non-criminal rights is called "civil litigation".
At Mann & Partners, LLP, we have an experienced team of
litigation lawyers that can work for you to analyze your case,
generate your legal options, construct a plan, and then move
forward on your instructions with skill and energy to obtain
the solution you need.
We are just as skilled at negotiations and will work hard to
settle your case if possible. If that is not possible, we know
how to move your matter effectively through the courts.
We represent individuals, partnerships, corporations, and businesses
- large and small - with all types of civil disputes. We have
experience in all levels of Ontario and federal Courts and administrative
tribunals, as well as all types of alternative dispute resolution.
