Qualified in Ontario and California, his practice focuses upon the defence of municipalities, insurers, and corporations against an array of personal injury, property, land use and commercial disputes. Paul has handled both jury and judge-alone trials, as well as numerous contested motions and applications. He has appeared before all levels of Ontario Courts, as well as the Federal Court.

Paul is especially cognizant of the need to cater his litigation style to each client's claims philosophy and unique needs on a particular file. As a result, he is equally adept at vigorously defending a proceeding on the merits as he is at procuring an early release on the most favourable terms available to his client.
