About Marco Romeo

Romeo, a partner in Gowling WLG's Toronto office, has stood before a jury at a coroner's inquest and appeared before the License Appeal Tribunal, which says plenty about the range of the work. Day to day, the practice sits in the firm's Advocacy Group and centres on complex commercial litigation.

The path here started at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Romeo was a Morehead-Cain Scholar, followed by a JD at Boston University. Within the profession, Romeo sat on The Advocates' Society's Young Advocates Standing Committee for 2023-2024 and was one of the chairs of the society's 2025 Toronto Big Mingle, a free event for students and junior lawyers.

Clients from the United States turn to Romeo for disputes that cross the border, and US court judgments get enforced here too. Bar admissions came in New York (2015) and Ontario (2016). The subject matter runs from class proceedings, whether they turn on product liability, securities or competition law, to contract fights, insolvency, defamation, and claims about the liability of directors and officers.

Practice areas

Civil Litigation & Dispute Resolution Class Actions Bankruptcy & Insolvency

Class action defence

Romeo is defending a US airline in Canadian class actions alleging conspiracies over airline capacity and fuel surcharges. Earlier defence work covered securities class actions brought against Barkerville and Colt Resources along with some of their directors, and a consumer protection and competition claim against Home Trust Company, where the plaintiffs' summary judgment motion was dismissed.

Commercial and cross-border disputes

Contract disputes are a regular part of the practice, including several cases enforcing the contractual rights of a multinational uniform supplier. Romeo also acts for American clients in disputes with a cross-border element and enforces US court judgments in Canada.

Inquests and tribunals

Romeo represented a client before a jury at a coroner's inquest into a construction site worker's death. At the License Appeal Tribunal, Romeo acted for a client contesting an order that suspended a car dealer's registration.
