One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.
Powell Litigation is a Toronto litigation firm founded by Weston Powell, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2015 after earning a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2014. The firm practices litigation only; it doesn't take on transactional work like closings or incorporations. Its focus spans civil and commercial litigation, including shareholder disputes, estate litigation, real estate disputes, employment matters, construction and contractor disputes, defamation claims, and Small Claims Court. The current team includes lawyers Siddharth Joshi, Jeffrey Hamel, and Eman Khoshbin alongside Powell.
The firm is based in downtown Toronto's Financial District, with a second office on Yonge Street in North York. Its website lists service areas across a wide stretch of Ontario, from the Greater Toronto Area to Ottawa, London, and Windsor, offered through in-person, telephone, and video consultations rather than branch offices in each city. Powell Litigation's lawyers belong to the Ontario Bar Association, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, and the Advocates' Society, and the firm was named Best Law Firm in the Toronto Star's 2020 Readers' Choice Awards.
