While the vast majority of disputes are settled before getting to trial, we always ensure that our clients are ready to get if a trial or hearing is necessary. We do our best to avoid disputes but are well equipped to handle litigation if the situation calls for it. In a legal context, the best way to achieve a settlement is to prepare for trial and so we will be working towards putting you in the strongest possible negotiating position.
Since we act for employers and employees, we are able to anticipate what the other side will argue and respond. Stuart also acts as a mediator, giving him the ability to assess how a neutral third party, such as a judge, mediator or arbitrator, will view the situation. Stuart has also argued before the Supreme Court of Canada in Keayes v Honda in 2008, where the judge adopted most of his suggestions.
We are honest and zealous advocates at trial, but will also be honest with you about the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We will work with you to develop the best strategy in your case and will fight to get you the best possible outcome for you.
