Franchise, Corporate and Commercial Litigation

Business disputes are inevitable. The key is resolving them efficiently, strategically, and with minimal disruption to your operations.

Through our “Of Counsel” relationship with the litigation boutique law firm, Sampogna Law, we are able to provide clients with experienced representation in corporate and commercial litigation matters — including complex franchise, commercial and shareholder disputes.

We work collaboratively with Sampogna Law to ensure continuity of strategy from the drafting of your agreements to the enforcement of your rights.

Our approach is strategic, business-minded, and results-focused.

As experienced corporate counsel in Ontario, we work with Sampogna Law to assist with:

1. Shareholder and partnership disputes
2. Oppression remedy claims under corporate statutes
3. Director and officer liability matters
4. Breach of fiduciary duty claims
5. Business breakup and “shotgun” clause disputes
6. Emergency injunctions and urgent court applications

If you are facing a shareholder dispute, early legal intervention is critical to protect control, value, and reputation.

We act with Sampogna Law in franchise disputes throughout Ontario, representing both franchisors and franchisees.

Franchise litigation services include:

1. Franchise agreement enforcement
2. Default notices and termination disputes
3. Rescission claims under Ontario franchise legislation
4. Disclosure disputes and misrepresentation claims
5. Territorial encroachment disputes
6. Injunctions to enforce restrictive covenants
7. System standards and brand enforcement

Franchise disputes are highly technical and governed by strict statutory requirements. We understand the commercial realities of franchise systems and the litigation strategies necessary to protect them.

Many law firms either:

1. Have high overheads and many law practice areas
2. Draft agreements but do not litigate them, or
3. Litigate disputes without understanding the business structure behind them.

Our integrated approach with Sampogna Law ensures your litigation strategy is aligned with your corporate structure, contractual protections, and long-term business objectives.
