Gowling WLG’s full-service construction practice is closely aligned with its infrastructure offering and is commended for its ability to ‘provide services during the pre-construction, construction and dispute phases of any project’. The group is further distinguished by its broad national coverage and maintains strong footholds in many of Canada’s key business hubs. From Toronto, Ted Betts leads the infrastructure and construction team and advises on the tendering, structuring, negotiation and drafting of construction contracts. Also in Toronto, Christopher Stanek is noted for his experience in land-related litigation, including construction disputes. Key names in Calgary include seasoned construction litigator Brian Kapusianyk and next-generation partner Jordan Crone, who was recently appointed local construction department lead. Other up-and-coming names include Kitchener-based litigator Sahil Shoor and associate Tristan Neill.
