Cassels

The Toronto-centred team at Cassels advises on major construction projects and high-value disputes for a broad mix of project sponsors, public-sector agencies, crown corporations and private contractors. Sector specialist Matthew Alter is highly sought after for complex construction disputes, where he routinely represents clients in the infrastructure, mining, energy and higher education sectors on judicial and arbitration proceedings. Department chair Mark St. Cyr handles both front-end and contentious construction matters, with experience spanning the full range of design, financing, procurement and construction. Also recommended are Graham Brown, who sits in the construction and litigation groups; and newly promoted partner (January 2025) Stephanie Garraway, who focuses on front-end construction work.
