February, 2007 - Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg was involved in three of the Top Ten Business Cases for 2006 published in the January edition of LEXPERT Magazine, more than any other major Canadian law firm.

The three cases listed include:

• the highly publicized dismissal of a proposed $3.9 billion class action in Option Consommateurs v. Novopharm Ltd.
• the Sears Holding Corp. v. Ontario Securities Commission case which altered the conduct of bidders in the context of takeover bids in Canada; and
• the landmark  decision  in Canada v. Canada Pipe  which shifted the abuse of dominance criteria under the Competition Act.

As a result of these and other highly complex cases, Davies is consistently recognized for excellence in business-related litigation. 

Davies, with over 235 lawyers, practices nationally and internationally from offices in Toronto, Montréal, New York and an affiliate in Paris, and is consistently at the heart of the largest and most complex commercial and financial matters on behalf of its North American and overseas clients.
