About Dewart Gleason LLP

Dewart Gleason LLP is a small litigation firm in downtown Toronto, founded in 2010 by partners Sean Dewart and Tim Gleason. The firm's website lists about 14 lawyers who've appeared before every level of court in Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada, and before administrative tribunals across the province. Its practice centres on civil litigation, labour and employment law, civil rights, and administrative law and professional regulation, with a particular focus on defending lawyers facing professional liability claims.

The firm represents dozens of Canada's largest public and private sector trade unions in bargaining, arbitration, and litigation, and it also acts for the Law Society of Ontario in professional regulation proceedings, work that has earned its lawyers a reputation for representing other lawyers.
