Our team of civil litigators bring to the table an impressive breadth of expertise. Collectively, our practices range from property, contract and insurance disputes to claims for breach of trust, breach of privacy, unjust enrichment, professional negligence, misrepresentation, wrongful dismissal, product liability, human rights violations and sexual assaults. Often, we are assisting clients being sued for assault or facing charges before disciplinary tribunals, or defending them in relation to claims for negligence, vicarious liability, breach of contract and various uninsured claims. We handle claims involving mental competence, the validity and interpretation of Wills, and appeals of cases that have been lost by other lawyers.

When you’re unsure what type of lawyer you need, we have you covered. We take the difficult cases.

Our court experience is comprehensive and includes all levels of court in Ontario, including Provincial Offences Court, Small Claims Court, the Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal. We also regularly appear before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal and other regulatory tribunals.

Siskinds’ Civil Litigation Lawyers rank among the best lawyers in Canada. We are recognized by judges, lawyers, and other professionals as lawyers who are resourceful, hard-working, and knowledgeable. We care about our clients and are sensitive to their needs. As your lawyers, we are resolutely determined to ensure that your interests are fully and properly represented and that the issues you bring to us are resolved in a cost effective and timely manner.

Joe Gaynor is an awesome lawyer. He ticks all the boxes of what an outstanding lawyer should be. With empathy and compassion he made the decisions that were right for me. Thanks. All the best to you and your team in the future. - D.C.

…I always tell people about Siskinds and what a great team especially Christina Martin were, as well as my adjuster, and rehab team. Couldn’t be where I am today if it was not for you! – R.X.

I want to thank Andrea [Cooley] so much for all her care, concern, work, expertise and wisdom that she gave over the last few months. A separation is something I did not really want to go through, but with Andrea's help I am thankful that I was able to get it all figured out and finished up. I am very happy that it is done, and I can move forward. - L.D.
