About Katzman Litigation Professional Corporation

Katzman Litigation Professional Corporation is a small civil and commercial litigation firm in Toronto, led by principal Michael A. Katzman. The firm works out of an office on University Avenue and fields three lawyers alongside three law clerks and paralegals. Its practice runs across commercial disputes such as shareholder and partnership conflicts, oppression remedies, and contract disagreements, real estate litigation over broken purchase and sale agreements and mortgage disputes, estate litigation including will challenges and dependants' support claims, employment disputes covering wrongful and constructive dismissal, and collection and enforcement work for lenders and landlords. The firm describes its approach as practical advice, creative approaches, and proven results, with an emphasis on proportionality between the cost of a dispute and what a client stands to gain from it.

The firm's managing partner holds a Master of Laws from the University of Toronto, was called to the bar in 2016, and has appeared before the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Superior Court of Justice, and courts in Newfoundland and Labrador and Alberta, alongside a stint as an adjunct professor at Durham College and ongoing work as counsel for Pro Bono Ontario. The firm's associate joined Katzman Litigation as an articling student from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2022, after earning Dean's Fellow honours in Criminal Law and distinguished oralist honours. Katzman Litigation's own case history includes two reported decisions at the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
