Civil and Commercial Litigation Lawyers in Toronto

Resolving Business and Personal Disputes in Ontario

At Ken Wise & Associates, we understand that commercial and civil disputes can significantly impact your business and personal interests. With over 40 years of experience in Ontario litigation, Ken Wise has represented clients in complex disputes across all court levels, including the Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Our firm brings strategic judgment, negotiation skills, and courtroom experience to every file.

Breach of Contract Disputes

Contracts form the backbone of commercial relationships. When breach occurs, the consequences can be severe. We assist clients in both pursuing remedies for breached contracts and defending against breach allegations. Whether the dispute involves non-payment, failure to perform services, or supply chain issues, we conduct a thorough analysis of contractual obligations and available remedies.

Debt Collection and Recovery

We represent both creditors seeking to recover outstanding debts and debtors navigating collection proceedings. Our approach focuses on practical solutions while considering all legal avenues available under Ontario law, including judgment and collection procedures.

Shareholder and Partnership Disputes

Disputes between business partners and shareholders can paralyze operations and destroy value. We handle disputes involving minority shareholder oppression claims, deadlock situations, and partnership dissolution matters, with a view to strategic resolution that protects your business interests.

Fraud and Misrepresentation Claims

Complex disputes involving fraudulent conduct require experienced counsel. We represent clients in commercial fraud cases, addressing issues of reliance, loss quantification, and remedies under common law and statutory provisions.

Injunctions and Interlocutory Relief

When immediate court intervention is required to prevent irreparable harm, we pursue injunctive relief through emergency motions and expedited proceedings. This includes applications for interim and interlocutory injunctions to preserve the status quo pending trial.

Real Property Disputes

Property-related disputes, including boundary disagreements, easement disputes, and title issues, require a working knowledge of both property law and litigation procedure. Our firm draws on both to resolve property conflicts effectively.

Damage Claims and Quantification

Accurately calculating damages is crucial for successful litigation outcomes. We work with expert witnesses and forensic accountants to establish causation and quantify losses in contract, tort, and other civil claims.

Our Litigation Approach

We combine determined advocacy with practical business judgment. Rather than automatically escalating costs, we assess each case for settlement opportunities while maintaining readiness for trial. Our goal is to achieve your objectives efficiently and cost-effectively. Contact Ken Wise & Associates to discuss your civil litigation matter.
