The lawyers at Gilbertson Davis LLP can advise and represent clients on all aspects of contentious financial services legal matters. Gilbertson Davis LLP has lawyers with experience acting in a wide variety of large and complex claims, in both cross-border and domestic litigation and arbitration.
We are practical and efficient litigators, who establish early on a client-centric goals-oriented litigation strategy, whether the dispute concerns relatively routine business disputes or having consequences so serious to the business or its stakeholder, that it is “bet the company” litigation.
Our senior lawyers have hands-on experience. Whether advising those on a trading floor, acting in matters before financial regulators, representing clients in cases requiring urgent equitable remedies, or deploying strategic advocacy in cases in arbitration, in trial or in the business litigation culture of summary judgment motions, we represent clients robustly and efficiently.
That is why we can say we are Easy to Work With and Tough to Oppose.

Financial Services Disputes
Financial services are heavily regulated in Ontario by provincial and/or federal authorities.
