Bankruptcy, Liquidation and Restructuring Litigation.

Bankruptcy and restructuring situations are highly sensitive and often require lawyers who are well versed in corporate and tax issues while also being able to handle litigation and dispute resolution. Litigation can quickly put extra pressure on already complex situations. Our lawyers who specialize in this area can help steer your ship through these troubled waters.

Our bankruptcy, liquidation and restructuring litigators have an excellent knowledge of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act. They know how to adopt strategic and creative approaches to deal with a host of potential issues.

Our lawyers represent financial institutions, secured and unsecured creditors, landlords and property owners, construction industry sureties, bankruptcy trustees and receivers and debtor companies. Regardless of the field—whether forestry, mining, heavy equipment manufacturing, intellectual capital, etc.—our lawyers have extensive expertise, and their many successes speak for themselves. Our litigators regularly appear before all levels of Quebec courts and are often called to represent clients’ interests across Canada, including in bankruptcy cases before the Toronto Commercial List.

Companies often benefit from liquidation laws, either voluntarily through an asset redistribution plan, or involuntarily at the request of a creditor. Whatever your objective, our team has experience not only across Canada, but also with complex international liquidations, and successfully represents various parties.
