Who we are
We have the depth of experience and expertise required to handle even the most sophisticated and complex civil litigation. We are litigators, but above all we are problem-solvers. Many of our peers and clients have commended us for our professionalism, sound judgment and excellence in advocacy. We are recognized as leaders in litigation.

Our commitment
The lawyers at Cavanagh are dedicated, not only to our clients but also to the profession of law and our community.
Our lawyers include:
- the co-chair of the CCLA annual civil litigation conference
- a former member of Ontario’s Civil Rules Committee
- two University professors
- the President of the County of Carleton Law Association (CCLA)
Our lawyers also currently serve on the boards of directors of the Advocates’ Society and Pro Bono Law Ontario.
Many lawyers on the Cavanagh team volunteers at the Pro Bono Law Ontario Law Help clinic at the Ottawa courthouse. Our lawyers make sure we are on top of developments in the law by regularly presenting at and attending continuing legal education programs. We also offer in-house programs. Founding partner, Steve Cavanagh also writes about the law in his popular and frequently provocative blog called Cavillations.
To our lawyers, the practice of law is much more than just a business; it is what we love to do.
