Campbell Litigation is a Waterloo litigation firm founded by Richard Campbell, and it takes on serious cases only, personal and business alike, from injury and death claims to fraud, construction liens and disputes between partners or shareholders. It serves clients across southern Ontario, including Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford, Elmira, Brantford, Fergus and Elora. The team, led by Richard Campbell, brings over seventy-five years of experience representing clients in litigation.
Richard Campbell was born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo and earned a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1997. Litigating since 1999, Richard Campbell has acted almost exclusively for plaintiffs, in areas such as personal injury, professional negligence and product liability. After articling and then practising with a small Burlington litigation firm, Richard Campbell came home to K-W in October 2012.
Trials and appeals at all levels of Ontario's courts are part of the work. Still, where mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution has a reasonable chance of reaching a workable, economical outcome, Richard Campbell is a strong advocate for it.

Free consultationHow Campbell Litigation works
Richard Campbell's practice is to tell a client at the outset whether a dispute can be negotiated, mediated or arbitrated, with a lawsuit kept as the last resort. The firm commits to never pursuing unreasonable or outlandish strategies. On injury matters its position is plain: "We are not miracle workers." It also commits to avoiding annoying, unduly aggressive or confrontational tactics.
Campbell Litigation works from a simple premise: evidence wins cases. It works with independent, unbiased professionals from across North America who are prepared to advise and, when needed, testify in fields from engineering and accounting to human factors and road maintenance.
