Specialties: Commercial LitigationReal Estate LitigationBanking LitigationProfessional NegligenceConstruction LitigationBankruptcy and Insolvency LitigationCopyright LitigationI was called to the Ontario Bar in 1980 and immediately had a broad - based litigation and general practise in the 1980's. That included commercial litigation, corporate and partnership disputes, real estate and mortgage litigation, construction, family law, tort including motor vehicle, and criminal law. I also did transaction work, including contracts, corporate, estates, and real estate. This experience has enabled me to provide a thorough understanding, insight and depth to my existing commercial litigation practise. I joined Beard Winter LLP in 1989 and have been a partner there since 1990. My main focus now is a broadly - based commercial litigation practise. I have done numerous trials, appeals, motions and injunctions.
