Audit Liability and Professional Negligence
Overview
We have significant expertise in complex litigation matters regarding accountants and their obligations, auditor’s negligence and liability and issues concerning accounting standards for Canadian and international companies.
Our representation often begins at the early stages of a matter before proceeding through the investigation or inquiry stage, referrals to discipline, hearings before regulators, and court proceedings, appeals, and judicial review. We have successfully represented plaintiffs and defendants in trials, arbitrations and appeals where command of these issues played a central role.
