Construction Litigation

oskie Minsky is committed to providing our construction litigation clients with quality and timely service leading to cost effective results. We are recognised as one of Ontario’s leading construction law firms and are acknowledged by other lawyers as being leaders in this area of law. Our firm has been instrumental in the formation of both the law and legislation which governs the construction industry and we welcome the opportunity to put our knowledge and experience to work for you.

We are proud of the diverse client base of our construction law practice. In that regard, our clients include lenders and owners, design professionals, general contractors and sub-trades, suppliers of services and materials, workers, unions and their benefit trust funds, and even other lawyers who are alleged to have been negligent in their representation of their construction clients. We use a ‘team’ approach to ensure that work is performed by the most appropriate person at the least expense to the client. This approach ensures that we deliver effective results and report regularly to the client who is at all times kept abreast as to the status of the case and of their financial commitment.

In addition to litigating and defending construction lien actions, we regularly deal with delay claims, claims related to labour, material and performance bonds, claims arising in negligence and breach of warranty and breach of trust actions, as well as tender bid claims.

Our practice is not limited to the courtroom. We are committed to finding alternative methods of dispute resolution, when appropriate to the case. Members of the firm are often involved in arbitrations, mediations and negotiations, and have received training to equip us to recognise where such an approach might be helpful and how to successfully participate.
