Lawson Lundell LLP services

Our lawyers have extensive experience in acting for corporate and individual debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, trustees and receivers in matters ranging from simple collections and personal bankruptcy matters to complex restructurings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act or the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Our group’s broad range of experience has resulted in us representing every major stakeholder in various types of corporate restructurings. We are dispute resolution lawyers experienced in the economic and timely resolution of commercial and lending impasses through negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation at all court levels.

Disputes consume significant amounts of time and divert attention from day-to-day operations, business strategy and long-term goals. In a world of increasing complexity and cost-sensitivity, companies expect their advocates to develop creative solutions that allow business to continue as usual, as quickly as possible.

With rapid advances in technology and increasing scrutiny on privacy and data-protection issues, organizations are looking for guidance on how privacy and data-protection laws govern the way they do business with their customers and interact with their employees. In addition to personal information protection legislation that applies across the country, Canada has also enacted anti-spam and antispyware legislation, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which significantly impacts the distribution of commercial electronic messages and computer programs.
