Oakville, Ontario, Canada

About

Litigation-focused lawyer called to the Ontario Bar with 6+ years of experience in civil, commercial, and construction litigation, including complex disputes involving infrastructure, insurance, regulatory, and real property matters. My experience includes advocacy before the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, specialized tribunals, and courts in Ontario. In Ontario, I completed my articling term at Sabio Law, working on civil, commercial, estate, mortgage enforcement, and real estate litigation matters before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and Small Claims Court, supporting files from inception through resolution. Prior to relocating to Canada, I practised litigation in India, representing federal, provincial, and municipal governments and their bodies, regulatory authorities, corporations, and private clients in complex civil and commercial litigation matters involving construction, infrastructure, insurance, regulatory, competition, and real property disputes. My work included matters involving infrastructure projects exceeding CAD 2 billion, competition disputes exceeding CAD 100 million, and a CAD 30 million insurance claim dispute. My experience includes civil litigation, commercial litigation, construction and infrastructure disputes, appellate advocacy, competition, arbitration, real estate disputes, and administrative and regulatory proceedings. I have also advised on regulatory compliance, real estate transactions, due diligence, and probate-related issues. I am particularly interested in civil litigation, commercial litigation, construction litigation, appellate advocacy, and related dispute-resolution matters. I welcome opportunities to connect with lawyers, recruiters, and professionals across the Ontario legal community.
