Ontario
One of the world's largest global legal services conglomerates, DLA Piper entered Canada via its 2015 acquisition of Vancouver-based entity Davis. Its Toronto office is home to several niche players, including environmental-focused Lana Finney. Finney acted for Imperial Oil Limited in contaminated lands litigation relating to a former Imperial Oil gas station located in Grimsby, Ontario. Imperial Oil was named in a lawsuit by a neighboring property owner alleging migration. Along with two co-defendants, Finney commenced a motion for summary judgment on the basis that the action was commenced after the limitation period. She was successful at the first instance and the action was dismissed. Finney also acted for Imperial Oil in contaminated lands litigation relating to a former Imperial Oil gas station located in Brockville, Ontario. This matter was successfully resolved. Derek Bell, who attends to a broader commercial-oriented practice, is lead counsel to In Colour Capital, a stakeholder in an insolvency proceeding; is lead counsel to Computershare in litigation relating to a $10 million bond debt obligation and a construction project in Toronto, and is lead counsel to Interactive Advertising Bureau of Canada in Supreme Court of Canada appeal on privacy rights and forum clauses.
