Home Expertise Construction

Osler’s construction litigators have extensive experience providing specialized claims and dispute resolution advice throughout the life cycle of construction projects. Our highly experienced team can provide the dispute solutions best suited to your organization and project.

As part of Osler’s top-tier national Construction & Infrastructure Group, we work in tandem with front-end construction lawyers. As an integrated team, our lawyers are available to lend their expertise at any point in the process, before shovels are in the ground and after the project has concluded. From the early planning, project structuring and financing stages to procurement, construction and contract management, Osler’s integrated team of construction lawyers is available to get your project off on the right foot — or, if necessary, help to get it back on track.

Industry experience

Construction law is a highly specialized field, with its own unique dynamics, interests, statutes and regulations. Osler’s construction litigation team consists of specialized construction disputes experts who are familiar with a range of creative dispute resolution mechanisms, as well as the nuances of the construction lien legislation across Canada.

Whether you are executing a large-scale public infrastructure project or a smaller private-sector project, you need intelligent, practical and creative solutions to mitigate risk, resolve disputes and avoid disruption, putting the focus back on your business goals.

Rapidly evolving space

Project delivery models, contracting approaches, alternative dispute resolution methods, and legislation in the construction industry are constantly changing. Osler’s construction experts stay ahead of the curve in this increasingly complex world to provide clients with the valuable advice they need at every step of the process, delivering innovative, cost-effective solutions to the roadblocks that could threaten the success of their projects.

Leveraging Osler’s “one firm” model across departments and jurisdictions, clients of all sizes — and across sectors including energy, transportation, housing, utilities and more — can benefit from our expertise in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, adjudication, litigation and forms of dispute resolution, wherever they are in the country.
