Aitken Legal

About Aitken Legal

Aitken Legal is a commercial litigation practice founded by Craig Aitken, based in Toronto's Financial District at 120 Adelaide Street West. The firm describes itself as cloud based and remote capable, with on the ground experience in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia and clients in Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Markham, Hamilton, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Calgary. Its work centres on commercial and civil disputes, corporate and shareholder conflicts, fraud and asset recovery, NDA and trade secret matters, employment investigations, and appeals, often built around urgent remedies such as Mareva injunctions, Norwich orders, and Anton Piller orders.

Craig Aitken founded the firm after practicing law in Alberta and British Columbia, and holds a Master's of International History with distinction from the London School of Economics. Before law, a period as a Naval Combat Information Operator in the Canadian Forces involved working with classified information aboard military vessels, an early experience that later fed a research interest: a Graduate Fellowship in Law and Innovation at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, focused on trade secrecy and confidential information. Courtroom experience since has included the Courts of Appeal in Ontario and Alberta, the Ontario Divisional Court, and submissions to the Supreme Court of Canada.
