Campbell Litigation is a litigation practice in Waterloo, Ontario that handles disputes rather than transactions. It works on two fronts: claims for injured people, and disputes involving businesses. For individuals, that means car, motorcycle, and truck collisions, brain and spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, premises liability, product liability, and professional negligence, done mainly for plaintiffs. For businesses, it covers shareholder and partnership disputes, construction claims, breach of contract, real estate litigation, and creditor-side insolvency, receivership, and mortgage enforcement. The firm runs trials and appeals in Ontario's courts, and pursues mediation and arbitration when that suits a case.
The practice was formerly known as Petker Campbell Postnikoff, and its web address and LinkedIn page still carry that name; it now operates as Campbell Litigation. Richard Campbell, the founder, has litigated since 1999 and set up the current sole practice in 2015 with a small team. A Kitchener-Waterloo native, Richard Campbell earned a Bachelor of Arts at St. Jerome's College and a law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School, and has sat as a Deputy Judge in Ontario's Small Claims Court for more than a decade. The firm says its team carries more than seventy-five years of combined litigation experience and that one member is a certified arbitrator. Everything runs out of a single Waterloo office that also serves Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, and Stratford.

The neighbourhood
The office sits at 40 Durward Place in the north end of Waterloo, near the Highway 85 Expressway and close to the Wilfrid Laurier University and University of Waterloo campuses. It's a practical business address, a pocket of small offices and light-industrial neighbours rather than a downtown tower, which suits a litigation practice that meets clients one file at a time.
The founder grew up in Kitchener-Waterloo and returned here to practise, and the firm's work maps onto the region's economy. Shareholder and partnership disputes, construction claims, and creditor enforcement follow from an area thick with small businesses, builders, and lenders, while personal injury and professional negligence claims come from across Waterloo Region and southern Ontario. The single Waterloo office covers Cambridge, Guelph, and Stratford as well, with virtual meetings where that's easier for a client.
