Unlike criminal cases, civil litigation addresses private matters where one party seeks compensation, enforcement of rights, or other remedies. As seasoned Litigation Lawyers, we handle cases involving:

  • Contract Disputes: Breaches of agreements, payment disputes, or conflicts over contract terms.
  • Business Litigation: Partnership conflicts, shareholder disputes, or commercial fraud cases.
  • Real Estate Disputes: Property ownership issues, lease disagreements, or construction-related conflicts.
  • Employment Issues: Wrongful termination claims, workplace disputes, or severance negotiations.
  • Personal Disputes: Defamation, negligence claims, or estate-related litigation.

Regardless of your case’s complexity, Powell Litigation brings clarity and resolution to your legal challenges.

Weston Powell

Civil Litigator & the Founding Lawyer of Powell Litigation

Powell Litigation helps individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in Southern Ontario who are involved in lawsuits as plaintiffs or defendants.

For people unfamiliar with the court system, there are essentially two kinds of lawyers: those who sit at desks drafting documents (wills, contracts, etc.) and those who represent you in court when things go wrong. You could think of it as the difference between a carpenter and a firefighter. They both work with wood, but their jobs are very different. For Weston, the choice was obvious. He’s passionate about fighting fires.

In addition to being a renowned trial lawyer, Weston is also a sought after speaker, regularly presenting before other lawyers at professional development events, conducting in-house speaking engagements at various companies, and acting as keynote speaker at conferences.

When he’s not in the office or the courtroom, you can find him walking in the woods with his wife, Caroline, their two daughters, Berkeley and Madeline, and their dog, Zoey.

Weston graduated with an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia before attending Osgoode Hall Law School. He was called to the Ontario bar in 2015.

Proud Member of:
*The Ontario Bar Association
*The Toronto Lawyers’ Association
*The Advocates’ Society.

In 2020, Weston was voted the Best Lawyer in the Toronto Star Readers’ Choice Awards.
