About Whelton Hiutin LLP

Whelton Hiutin LLP is a small civil litigation firm with offices in Toronto and Vaughan, Ontario. Co-founder Colin Stevenson practised commercial and administrative litigation there from 2000 and built it, with Maureen Whelton, into Stevenson Whelton LLP. The firm became Whelton Hiutin LLP in 2024, when Stevenson was appointed a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Managing partner Maureen Whelton and partner Ed Hiutin now lead the practice across the two offices.

The firm handles only civil litigation and dispute resolution. Its work spans commercial and real estate disputes, construction and employment litigation, administrative law and judicial review, appeals and constitutional litigation, arbitration and mediation, personal injury and medical malpractice claims, and class actions, including several hip implant cases. The firm says it uses litigation technology, such as data analytics and AI assisted document review, so a smaller team can take on document heavy cases without the overhead of a large firm.

In the community

  • The firm has supported Crossroads International and the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic.
  • Maureen Whelton is an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and has coached the school's Jessup International Law Moot team.
