Viktor Nikolov is a commercial litigator at Ross Nasseri whose practice focuses on complex business disputes and high-stakes regulatory proceedings. He represents clients before all levels of court in Ontario, as well as administrative tribunals, in matters involving corporate governance, shareholder disputes, civil fraud, creditor remedies, and professional regulation.

Viktor’s experience spans a broad range of contentious matters, and has included oppression claims, multi-party fraud actions, class proceedings, insolvency and restructuring under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act , and domestic and international arbitrations. He acts for a diverse client base—from entrepreneurs and closely held businesses to public companies, financial institutions, and government entities—often in disputes that are both legally intricate and commercially consequential.

A strategic and pragmatic advocate, Viktor is known for his disciplined preparation and sound judgment in fast-moving, high-pressure litigation. He approaches each mandate with a clear focus on the client’s objectives, combining rigorous legal analysis with practical, results-oriented advice. While experienced trial and appellate counsel, he is equally adept at securing favourable outcomes through dispositive motions, negotiated resolutions, and creative strategies.

Prior to joining Ross Nasseri, Viktor practiced at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, where he acted in business-critical disputes for leading domestic and international clients.
