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.

Michael [Connell] was such an incredible help to us as we navigated a new situation in selling our income property. He spelled everything out for us so clearly and concisely and helped us understand complex legal documents and terms with ease. I would highly recommend him for his professional knowledge and expertise while having a personal touch that made us feel comfortable and took all the stress out of the process for us. Thank you Michael and Simone! - P.J.

I had a great experience with John Morrissey and his team at Siskinds. I was in a same sex common law relationship and required his help with a dependent support claim. John made my first time experience dealing with a lawyer an easy one. He was very knowledgeable and he and his law clerk Adam were always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have. I would highly recommend John and his entire team at Siskinds. - R.S.
