About Harwick & Crane
Our Expertise
Our Harwick & Crane team consists of experienced business lawyers who specialize in a variety of areas including contract law, employment law, and intellectual property. We have the knowledge and skills to help businesses of all sizes navigate complex legal issues and achieve their goals.
Experienced Business Law Firm
Corporate Fraud Litigation
Corporate fraud is one of the most damaging and complex areas of law a business can face, whether you are the one pursuing justice or defending against unfounded accusations. Our litigators have spent decades handling fraud cases at every level of complexity, from internal embezzlement and financial misrepresentation to large-scale securities fraud and auditor negligence. We know how these cases are built, how they fall apart, and how to win them. If fraud has damaged your business, we will pursue every available avenue to hold the responsible parties accountable. If your company is facing a fraud allegation, we will defend your reputation and your bottom line with everything we have.
Commercial Litigation
Business disputes can move fast and get expensive quickly. Harwick & Crane handles high-value commercial litigation across a full range of disputes, including breach of contract, partnership breakdowns, shareholder conflicts, and business tort claims. We represent clients in the Ontario Superior Court, the Court of Appeal, and before arbitration panels. Our approach is direct. We assess the strength of your position honestly, develop a strategy built around your business objectives, and execute it without hesitation.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Directors, officers, and senior executives carry significant legal obligations to the companies and shareholders they serve. When those obligations are violated, the consequences can be severe. Harwick & Crane acts for both corporations pursuing claims against executives who have breached their duties and for individuals defending against such allegations. These cases are often deeply complex, highly sensitive, and intensely contested. We handle them with the experience and discretion they demand.
Securities & Regulatory Defense
Facing a regulatory investigation from the OSC or another enforcement body is not something you navigate with a generalist firm. Our lawyers have deep experience advising corporations and executives through securities investigations, enforcement proceedings, and compliance disputes. We know how regulators think, how they build cases, and where they can be challenged. Early intervention is almost always the right move, and we are experienced at getting in front of these situations before they escalate.
Bankruptcy Law
We represent clients in bankruptcy proceedings, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcies, and assist with debt reorganization and restructuring.
Risk Management
Our attorneys can help businesses identify and mitigate risks, including drafting contracts, establishing compliance programs, and handling disputes.
