Civil Litigation & Dispute ResolutionCivil Litigation & Dispute ResolutionAbout Nathan Lean
Construction fights, real property disputes and tenancy conflicts, both commercial and residential, make up the core of Nathan Lean's work. As a litigation associate with Gowling WLG in Ottawa, Lean takes these matters to court, to arbitration and to adjudication, and handles complex files across all three.
Called to the Ontario bar in 2015, Lean has argued in the Superior Court of Justice, at the Divisional Court and before the Court of Appeal for Ontario, as well as in front of a range of administrative bodies, and makes a point of fitting the litigation strategy to what each case demands. Lean studied at Queen's University for both an honours BA and a law degree.
Beyond paying files, the associate takes an active part in pro bono work run out of the firm's Ottawa office. Lean belongs to the Canadian Bar Association and the Ontario Bar Association and stays involved with the city's construction community. Away from work, you'll find Lean at a chessboard or tending a crop of peppers bred to be as hot as they come.
