If there is one thing lawyers of distinction emphasize, it is the benefit of overall experience in diverse practice areas that enables one to undertake novel matters that challenge existing precedent. Law breaks new ground every now and then, but I believe this is easier done by lawyers who have substantial experience in court matters of trials and appeals. My wide-ranging experience in civil and commercial litigation as well as appeal matters in the courts and tribunals in Ontario, allows me to represent you effectively. My four steps to achievement are: Plan, Prepare, Proceed, Pursue.
I articled with a Bay Street law firm 30 years ago and then started my own practice. I am also a member of the New York State Bar, and have a Masters degree in Law from Cornell.
In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada emphasized the significance of single judge case management in civil matters. The highest court has proclaimed now that all the courts in the country should shake up their scheduling systems to bring about efficient, effective and feasible access to justice by simplifying procedures, and by early court review of fact findings that permit early judicial relief under a more flexible and more accessible summary judgment procedure.
The wider ramifications of the decision in all areas of the law are welcoming indeed. The Court of Appeal for Ontario, for example, adapted to this “cultural shift” in judicial thinking to decide without the need for a full-blown trial where summary judgment was not even requested. The shake up will be seen and felt throughout Canada in this new forward thinking of bringing the judicial system within the reach of ordinary citizens.
I am privileged to have fought for this judicial thinking in the courts as one of the only and earliest proponents of such reasoning amongst lawyers. My successful court application a few years ago, with detailed reasons relating to the impact of such a procedure on access to justice for ordinary litigants, the only one on court record of its kind, and a precursor to the single judge case management prescription by the highest court, is available for review for readers, and is a matter of public record with the subscription-based Quicklaw legal database.
In all civil and commercial litigation matters, I always try to seek shorter relief measures to simplify procedures. I adopt my clients’ insights to devise strategies relevant to the issues at stake. My experience also tells me how often the client overrates certain views that harden due to being too close to a situation. This makes it necessary to remain objective in assessing facts.
Many important decisions where I acted as the lawyer, are reported in the Ontario civil procedure Digest, as well as court and tribunal databases. I have a long list of clients I have served for years with constant support through the thick and thin of legal process. These clients can be privately consulted prior to retaining me. I will happily discuss your legal matters and encourage you to contact me.
I have appeared before courts and tribunals at various levels in my wide range of practice areas. My experience includes conducting trials and motions in Brampton, Toronto, Milton, Oshawa, and other GTA courts. Matters handled include:
ReasonedStrategy.com also provides client services in Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu.
