Recognized Excellence Stockwoods is a Toronto-based litigation firm. The firm was founded in 1979 by David Stockwood, Q.C., L.S.M. We argue cases before all Ontario and Federal Courts and tribunals, and before the Supreme Court of Canada. We continue to be in the forefront of the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution techniques where appropriate (for more information concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution, see Our Approach). Stockwoods has been given an AV rating in the international law directory Martindale-Hubbell, the highest ranking given by that organization, and we are consistently ranked among the top Toronto litigation firms by LEXPERT. Members of the firm have achieved success inside and outside of their practice at Stockwoods. Some of our partners bring experience from their highly-regarded work in government or in private practice at other well-known firms. Some former partners have gone on to serve on the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal. Read more about our lawyers     Referrals Respected We have a substantial base of direct clients. However, referrals from and consultations with other lawyers are an important part of our practice. When other lawyers refer cases to us or seek our advice, we operate on a strict "counsel" basis. We will not take on other work for a referred client unless requested to do so by the referring lawyer. Unless there is a conflict of interest, we take commercial advice on files from our referring solicitors. Similarly, if litigation results in a commercial settlement, the referring solicitor is involved in completing the settlement.   Website Design by Clutch Marketing
