Construction and infrastructure boutique Singleton Urquhart Reynolds Vogel LLP remains a leader in the practice space, utilizing the bench strength of an experienced team of litigators, solicitors and engineers in Vancouver and Toronto to provide a comprehensive range of services for clients involved in major infrastructure, industrial and commercial projects. The firm’s full offering covers the negotiation and drafting of agreements, risk management, advice on procurement matters, assistance with construction insurance and surety bonding, alternative dispute resolution and representation in high-stakes construction disputes. Firm co-founder and counsel John Singleton KC, who operates out of the Vancouver and Toronto offices, brings extensive experience in P3 and infrastructure matters, having advised on over 90 projects over the past 10 years. In addition to advising both the Ontario and federal Canadian governments on the development of legislation, co-managing partner and leading construction litigator and arbitrator Bruce Reynolds in Toronto provides expertise on matters involving liens, surety bond claims, construction and insurance claims, as well as architects’ and engineers’ errors and omissions issues.
