Groia & Company Professional Corporation has worked hard to earn its reputation as one of Canada's leading securities litigation boutiques. We are grateful to have been able to work on almost every major Canadian securities case over the last few years including: Asbestos, Bre-X, Cinar, Hollinger Inc., Philip Services, Proprietary Industries Inc., TD Waterhouse, Thomson Kernaghan, UBS, YBM, and Yorkton Securities. We are best known for our work in defending regulatory proceedings and prosecutions brought by Canadian and U.S. regulators including those brought by any of Canada's provincial securities commissions as well as the SEC, TSX, and the IIROC. We also are retained regularly by lawyers, accountants and other market professionals who may face disciplinary proceedings for their market activities. We believe, however, that our firm is more than just a securities litigation boutique. We help our clients with the full range of their business litigation needs, including claims for and against stockbrokers, claims against banks, financial institutions and other major public companies, shareholder disputes and remedies, wrongful dismissal claims, breach of contract lawsuits and in defense of white-collar criminal prosecutions. We help guide our clients through the complex range of issues that arise out of the parallel investigation, prosecution and litigation proceedings that have become commonplace in the Canadian business community over the past few years. We hope that you will consider retaining Groia & Company Professional Corporation if you ever need creative, high-quality and tough-minded legal representation.
