- Breach of trust claims
- Construction Act adjudications
- Advising on health and safety and employment matters
Construction Adjudication
To date, adjudication seems to have been the “middle-child” of dispute resolution mechanisms for construction related matters. It’s neither court, nor traditional arbitration, and seems to get less attention than its better-known siblings. However, the number of construction adjudication proceedings in Ontario is beginning to grow.
Practical Solutions
At Merovitz Potechin, we know that resolving construction disputes requires more than technical skill, it takes common sense. Our focus is on finding practical solutions to complex problems.
