Being involved in a law suit can be an intimidating and frustrating experience both for those who’ve never had such an experience before and for those whose profession or institutional setting make it a part of every day life.

The particular tactics and strategy employed in any given case will inevitably depend upon the particulars of the dispute that leads to court proceedings and the procedural rights, remedies, and rules that apply to the conduct of the dispute in any particular jurisdiction. However, regardless of those particulars, conducting a lawsuit, that is litigating it, intelligently can both strengthen your case in court and reduce your costs, frustrations, and anxieties while you go through the court process.

Litigating intelligently starts with making the right choice of counsel to represent you in court, and continues with maintaining an optimal working relationship with that counsel throughout the proceedings. This will ensure you have as much information about and control over your case as you want and need, at a cost that’s viable for you to bear. Choosing counsel and instructing counsel are easier if you have an understanding of what you need to think about before you start, and if you know a little bit about the judicial processes you may be engaged in.

I have been an active civil litigation lawyer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in large firms and small, since 1990, and I have acted for private individuals, large institutions, and a variety of businesses and organizations of varying size in between. While you need to discuss your legal situation in detail with whomever ultimately becomes your counsel, I share some thoughts with you on this website that may help you do that more effectively, whether you may be a private individual or a large corporation. Thereby, I hope to help you begin the process of intelligent litigating.
