Pension and Benefit Issues in Bankruptcy and Restructuring

Our Bankruptcy and Restructuring Group represents employees, retirees, unions, and pension and benefit fund administrators who are impacted by a company`s restructuring, bankruptcy or receivership.  We have been involved in the largest and highest profile insolvencies in Canada. We have been appointed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) as Representative Counsel to employees and retirees in a large number of insolvency cases, and have acted for over fifty different union locals across the country in insolvency matters.

We bring our advocacy and negotiation skills to bear together with our knowledge of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA)  to protect our clients’ pension, benefits and wage claims.  We are able to respond quickly, negotiate creative solutions and advance our clients’ rights in court. We work hard to ensure that our clients obtain the best possible recovery of amounts that are owing to them.
