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 will work for you to analyze your case and provide you with legal options. We are sensitive to the burden that civil litigation can represent, and we strive to maintain a ‘cost-sensitive’ approach when advancing your claim. We will work together with you to construct a plan for the litigation and then move forward based on your instructions with skill and energy to obtain the best solution for you. We always strive to maintain good communication and tailor our work to meet the needs of our clients.

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.
