Matthew is a practical and tenacious lawyer. He maintains a broad civil, corporate/commercial, estates and trusts, real estate and securities/shareholder litigation practice in the trial and appellate courts throughout Ontario. Clients rely on his strategic and cost-effective advice in resolving their most contentious disputes.
He has represented both defendants and plaintiffs in class proceedings; engineers, developers and public authorities in real estate and construction disputes; investment advisors, brokerages and their clients in lawsuits involving negligent advice and fraud; insurance brokers and disability insurers in cases concerning a wide range of insurance products, and manufacturers in product liability cases. This experience has resulted in numerous reported decisions in complex and novel areas of law, including several in the Ontario Reports, Watson & McGowan’s Ontario Civil Practice, and Ontario Annual Practice.
Matthew also has significant experience in urgent interlocutory remedies, including Mareva injunctions and Norwich orders. He has also assisted international clients in the recognition and enforcement of foreign monetary and equitable judgments in Ontario.
A significant portion of Matthew’s practice in recent years has involved cross-border claims for securities misrepresentation in the primary and secondary markets involving publicly traded companies operating in a diverse range of industries and geographical locations, including mining and offshore oil and gas exploration. In the context of this practice, Matthew has recovered millions of dollars for investors.
Matthew has appeared as counsel in applications, motions and trials before the Superior Court of Justice (including the Commercial and Estates List), the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, and on applications for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. He also has experience working on matters proceeding before the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Southern District of Texas and the Eastern District of Michigan.
Matthew is an avid hiker and triathlete. In the spring of 2024, Matthew completed his quest to run every single street and laneway in Toronto (over 10,000) from its borders with Mississauga, Markham/Vaughan, Pickering, and Lake Ontario. He was recently featured in blogTO following his completion of this multi-year running project.
