Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP’s construction group is oriented towards owner-side mandates, but it also acts for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and lenders, among others. The team strikes a balance between transactional and contentious work, with a focus on the transport, healthcare, education and natural resources industries. Litigator Matthew Alter (Toronto) contributes experience in all aspects of construction and procurement law and co-heads the department alongside Mark St. Cyr (Toronto), who also handles the gamut of procurement, development and dispute resolution matters. Associate Stephanie Garraway (Toronto) provides dedicated practice support.
