Litigation has long been recognized as one of Kugler Kandestin’s cornerstones and main strengths. Over the course of several decades providing sound practical and strategic advice, our litigation lawyers have received praise and recognition from various recognized professional associations and publications.
Our approach is client-centric. Our focus and priority is on understanding the business and practical needs of our clients and presenting cases in an intelligent, compelling and cost effective fashion. Kugler Kandestin is one of only a handful of firms that are willing to handle certain litigation cases on a contingency fee basis.
We have extensive trial and appellate experience and regularly plead before all levels of court in Québec. Our lawyers have also appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada, various administrative tribunals, as well as in private arbitration and mediation.
We regularly go toe-to-toe against Canada’s largest law firms and have obtained precedent-setting judgments and settlements for our clients in various areas of law, including bodily and personal injury, medical malpractice, class actions, insurance and general commercial matters, including injunctions and special remedies and shareholder disputes.
Due to our size and accessibility, we take particular pride in the fact that regardless of the opponent, we can effectively represent large, national and multi-national corporations with the same level of service and attention to detail as the small businesses and individuals we also represent.
