Background

About Haddon Murray

I am a partner in the Toronto office of Gowling WLG, practising in the areas of commercial litigation and restructuring and insolvency law. Commercial Litigation: My commercial litigation practice focuses on complex commercial disputes, involving contract disputes, P3 arbitrations, oppression claims, professional negligence, and class proceedings. I work with clients across a diverse range of industries, including Financial Services, Logistics and Infrastructure. I have appeared extensively before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice - Commercial List and the Ontario Court of Appeal. I also have substantial experience representing clients through a variety of alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including private arbitration and mediation proceedings. Restructuring and Insolvency: I am one of the principal litigators in Gowling WLG’s Restructuring and Insolvency Group. I regularly represent banks, credit unions, court officers, debtor corporations and directors in contested aspects of creditor enforcement and restructuring proceedings, including: • CCAA applications (including creditor initiated CCAA filings and competing CCAA and Receivership applications), • Claims processes; • Cross-border insolvency proceedings (including recognition proceedings under Part IV of the CCAA); • DIP loan approval motions; • Priority disputes; and • Receivership applications. In addition, I advise stakeholders of all kinds in connection with all contested aspects of enforcement and restructuring proceedings as well as out-of-court insolvency and restructuring issues. I work to ensure that his clients are positioned to maximize their leverage and obtain the best possible negotiated solution or judicial determination. I was previously an avid rugby player, but my surgeon is now quite emphatic that I am retired.
