Our law firm has developed a breadth of civil litigation experience over the past two decades. By design, we have expanded our work to include all aspects of litigation so we can offer clients a wide range of knowledge that is often difficult to come by in GTA. As a result, we handle disputes in a number of diverse legal areas with ease.

Lawyers at the firm have represented people in all levels of provincial courts, appearing on behalf of clients for trials and appeals with a consistent focus on achieving the best outcome. In addition to honing our courtroom skills, we have embraced alternative ways of resolving disputes as civil law has evolved in Ontario. We are able in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and specialized administrative tribunals.

Our practice is built on a model of service and professional relationships where clients come first. Our role is to provide clients with reliable and efficient legal representation.

Breach of ContractTort and Negligence ClaimsReal Estate Insurance DisputesReal Estate DisputesCollection

Business-to-business conflicts, consumer disputes and a wide range of other matters are all essentially disagreements over contracts. As litigation counsel, we are trained in the resolution of disputes, and as such have insight into the potential procedures and outcomes of breach of contract litigation. Over two decades in North York, we have provided the highest level of legal services to clients throughout GTA.

Contract disputes are the subject of a significant amount of civil litigation. Whether oral or in writing, a contract is the starting point to determine if there was some form of agreement between parties and therefore rights and responsibilities that result.

In addition to our services we handle disputes over:

  • Franchise agreements
  • Service and supply contracts
  • Commercial leasing agreements
  • Financial service contracts
  • Consumer contracts
  • Shareholder, partnership and joint venture agreements

Disputes are complex, with the language of a contractual agreement central to most litigation. Adjudicators must also assess the intent and action of the parties to establish whether the contract is valid and if it has been breached. In many cases, legislative provisions will also determine, in part, how a contract is interpreted and what damages have been suffered and are appropriate.

To proceed in consumer or business litigation with a full understanding of the risks, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer with extensive experience. We offer an enviable combination of legal knowledge and diverse practice experience.

We all have gone through the unwelcome situation of sustaining financial or bodily loss as a result of a wrongdoing by others. The law protects the person who has been the victim of such wrongdoings. The victim of a financial or bodily loss is entitled to sue the person who has caused the harm in tort.

In order for a tort claim to proceed, certain criteria have to be met. First and foremost, the existence of a duty of care must be proven. Then, breach of such duty must be substantiated. The last step is to prove the quantum of loss that the victim has sustained. In each step serious technical, factual, and legal challenges arise, which necessitates a qualified counsel to handle your case.

Through years of practice in both Iran and Canada, Dr. Vosooghi can skillfully handle your tort and/or negligence claims in all levels of courts, including professional negligence, personal injury, slip and fall, trespass, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, conversion, medical malpractice, and all other types of tort claims.

Insurance is meant to be a safety net for people; however, insurers sometimes have a different objective. People buy policies to protect their homes, their businesses and their families. Insurers assess claims based on what is in the company’s best interests, not necessarily those of the policyholder. For people in Ontario who rely on insurance benefits to recover after tragedy and loss, the results can be devastating.

Without an understanding of insurance law, policyholders, perhaps already vulnerable due to property loss or personal injury, require an advocate to protect their interests. We focus on helping people obtain fair settlements from insurers and making sure they get the most out of their policy.

Vosooghi Law is a general litigation boutique law firm with skills to advance our clients’ interests and seek resolutions in their favour. We challenge the insurance company’s lawyers at every turn in cases such as:

  • Theft and break-ins
  • Shipping and transportation losses
  • Fire losses
  • Water damage
  • Personal injury
  • Motor vehicle accident claims
  • Professional malpractice
  • Negligence

When an insurance dispute intersects with another difficulty, such as loss of employment, our clients benefit from our well-rounded experience as legal counsel. In all areas of litigation, we offer representation that is designed to achieve the best results for each client.

Achieving the best results requires us to think creatively, while relying on our legal knowledge and common sense for what works in each case. Clients trust us to represent them with professionalism and strength, and we honour that trust accordingly.

In a dispute over the property or the elements of the transaction, advice from experienced legal counsel is a necessity to ensure that rights are protected and agreements enforced. We provide high-quality legal representation in residential and commercial real estate litigation.

Real estate conflicts often arise on the basis of breach of contract. Commercial and residential developments and residential home purchases are subject to legal rules that, if violated, can result in damages to the wronged party. Issues that arise in real estate transactions by owners and developers include:

  • Abortive real estate transactions
  • Mortgage fraud and fraudulent transfers
  • Nonpayment for contractual work
  • Failure to complete purchase or sale
  • Failure to disclose property defects
  • Purchase and sale agreement disputes
  • Real estate agent negligence

We stand by our clients in all phases of a real estate dispute. From the initial identification of a legal issue through legal proceedings that ultimately lead to resolution, we provide relevant advice and guidance. We will provide a realistic assessment of options and probable outcomes, based on our legal knowledge and more than four decades of experience as lawyers handling real estate disputes.

We explore all potential remedies and legal actions, such as orders for specific performance and the registration of certificates of pending litigation.

We are experienced and knowledgeable regarding the details of different kinds of debt collection law for different areas. We can help you find the most efficient ways to enforce your rights as a creditor.

Knowing Your Priorities

As a boutique firm, we are often well-acquainted with many aspects of our clients’ businesses, which helps us to accurately assess our clients’ priorities.

We will strategize with you about the most cost-efficient way to recover your funds, taking advantage of any relevant tools that might apply to your situation such as liens or alternative dispute resolution. We will prevent further expense and delay by making sure that you don’t miss deadlines, file incorrectly or waste time with irrelevant or unnecessary procedures or motions.

Debt recovery actions may include:

  • Demand letters: The first step is usually to send out a letter that outlines specifically the amount and nature of your debt, and when you expect payment. Although most businesses have already done this, it can make a difference when the letter comes from a law firm.
  • Negotiation and dispute resolution: We can help you negotiate for a settlement or go through mediation, which may be faster and more cost-effective than pursuing a lawsuit.
  • Litigation: If working toward resolution with your debtor is not possible or productive, we will assert your rights in arbitration or through Ontario’s courts.
