COMMERCIAL LITIGATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Business people have all lived the unfortunate experience of a project which appears promising and where partners appear credible at first but which, with time, does not turn out as planned, sometimes with disastrous consequences both financially and with respect to material and human resources.

The lawyers of the commercial litigation group of Ravinsky Ryan Lemoine have developed, over the years, a particular expertise in helping their clients to stand up to an adversary and to obtain the best result from a judicial imbroglio.

We seek to develop a negotiated and reasoned approach to solving conflicts. To this end, we know from experience that it is by adopting a solid position and establishing the credibility that comes with good preparation and a thorough understanding of the file that we can ensure that negotiations will result in a satisfactory settlement for our clients. In the search for a negotiated solution, we benefit from the tax expertise of our colleagues, who help us to find innovative solutions that lead to an amicable agreement.

When, despite our best efforts, a negotiated solution is not possible, all of our resources will be focused on obtaining a favourable decision of the competent court, tribunal or arbitration panel, as can be seen from the following decisions rendered in cases that we have handled:
