Since its inception, Teplitsky, Colson LLP has grown steadily to its current complement of approximately 25 lawyers – all barristers – with practices restricted to civil litigation. This growth has been fueled by a vision of creating a team of lawyers such that clients can rely on their interests not simply being well represented but receiving the best representation possible.

This is reflected in Teplitsky, Colson LLP’s reputation as hard-nosed, aggressive litigators, prepared to take on difficult cases and vigorously advocate clients’ interests to the full extent permitted by law while adhering to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and ethics. This reputation has been well earned and is respected by bar and bench alike.

On the other hand, we recognize that litigation can be costly, not only financially, but psychologically and in terms of time that is taken away from other activities. Finding an effective solution for a client does not necessarily require a trial. Teplitsky, Colson’s lawyers actively engage in alternative dispute resolution techniques, from negotiation to mediation and arbitration and their various combinations. These have always formed part of a Teplitsky, Colson advocate’s arsenal - hence Marty is one of the most senior and sought after labour mediators and arbitrators in Canada.

Being a successful advocate in today’s demanding environment requires skill, creativity and sensitivity to a client’s needs, interests and rights. Teplitsky, Colson LLP has attained its success by assembling a team of lawyers with unsurpassed breadth and depth of experience and expertise, while not requiring individuals to suppress their unique personalities and interests. Our clients benefit from lawyers who work hard, exercise sound judgment, adopt innovative approaches and lead well-balanced lives.
