Matthew Tobias

Widely recognized as Canada’s leading litigation practice, we have successfully represented clients’ interests in some of the most complex, high-profile cases in Canadian legal history. Our lawyers are distinguished by their depth of courtroom experience, appearing regularly at all levels of the federal and provincial courts and before professional and regulatory tribunals, as well as in mediation and arbitration proceedings. We bring expert strategy – backed by rigorous research, skilled data management and solid administrative support – to demanding cases in all areas of litigation. We recruit the best. As a firm focused exclusively on litigation and advocacy, our law students and associates are provided with high-value and stimulating work from the get-go. With a strong emphasis on mentorship and teamwork, our lawyers grow into expert litigators. Our business team members are professionals of the highest caliber, working hard everyday in their respective areas, to drive our firm forward. We are committed to promoting and advancing equity, diversity and inclusion in our workplace and in the legal profession – not only because studies show it results in better work product for our clients, but because it produces a more connected workplace. We recruit and support diverse candidates and are deeply committed to their retention and advancement. While we recognize we are a work in progress, we take pride in advancing EDI inside and outside of our firm through concrete initiatives like resume anonymization, unconscious bias training, inclusivity dialogue sessions, firm-wide resource sharing on racism and allyship, access to justice internships, the R&R Lounge, ReferToHer™, and support of organizations dedicated to advocating for underrepresented groups.
