Michel Castillo, Barrister & Solicitor

Civil/Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Effective – Responsive – Efficient

Throughout my career, I have represented individuals, small businesses and large corporations.  Large or small – all clients deserve efficient and cost effective advice.  By adopting a number of software platforms, I am able to respond promptly to client needs, without the need for multiple layers of staff clients often face when dealing with other lawyers.

Not all client matters are the same.  Sometimes, litigation is necessary.  On other occasions, the client is better served by effective representation in alternative dispute resolution – such as mediation and arbitration.  Whichever the route, I work collaboratively with clients to obtain favorable results.

Representative Cases:

Successfully assisted clients in recovering debts owing to them by demand letters, court claims, construction liens, judgments, etc.

Successfully assisted clients with employment claims (both employers and employees) during negotiation and litigation.

Set aside interlocutory injunction in complex commercial litigation (re intellectual property rights and employment/fiduciary duties)

Successfully resolved defamation matters including defamatory postings on the internet (disgruntled customers and former employees) and defamatory statements in the news.

** In accordance with Chapter 4 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, please note that past results are not necessarily indicative of future results and that the amount recovered and other litigation outcomes will vary according to the facts in individual cases.
