About Jeffrey Kukla

When a mortgage goes into default or a debt needs collecting, creditors can turn to Jeffrey Kukla, a Hamilton litigator and partner with Gowling WLG's Recovery Services Group. Jeffrey's cases sit at the meeting point of banking and commercial disputes, and the bulk of them involve enforcing mortgages, creditors' rights and recovery, real estate fraud, and professional liability claims.

Jeffrey studied law at Osgoode Hall and was called to the Ontario bar in 2009. Jeffrey also spent a secondment in the legal department of a large Canadian financial institution, and that experience shapes a practical approach: working to understand what a client actually needs and then getting it resolved. Gowling WLG brought Jeffrey into its partnership as part of a group of 35 new partners named across its Canadian offices, with Jeffrey based in Hamilton.

Jeffrey is in court regularly, at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal, and takes matters before a range of administrative tribunals as well.
