Simon Cameron Bieber

Simon is a formidable advocate trusted by clients and colleagues alike with their most complex disputes. Colleagues describe Simon as “the type of lawyer who people like to have on the same side of a file and you feel comfortable trusting clients with”. Clients describe him as “an excellent lawyer and business partner” and “exceptional in every facet of the litigation process.” They appreciate that “he gives honest, candid and frank advice and gets the job done” (Chambers, 2024).

With a practice spanning Canada and the US, Simon focuses on commercial and corporate litigation, directors’ and officers’ liability, securities litigation, class actions, and professional negligence. Simon represents a broad range of clients, including various regulated professionals, directors and officers, oppressed shareholders, and public and private companies.

Simon delivers results, both in and out of the courtroom. He has a robust trial and appellate practice, appearing regularly at all levels of court in Ontario and Canada-wide, as well as administrative tribunals in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba regulating securities and capital markets, accountants, and lawyers. Simon also regularly mediates and arbitrates commercial matters, typically involving the interpretation of commercial agreements, price adjustments and disputes over fair value.

Simon’s excellence in advocacy is consistently recognized by his peers and leading legal publications. In 2019, Lexpert named Simon one of Canada’s leading lawyers under 40. That same year he was invited to become a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, an honour extended to less than one-half of one percent of North American lawyers, recognizing excellence in trial advocacy. Chambers has in all years since 2019 recognized Simon’s expertise in commercial litigation and Benchmark has similarly ranked him a “Litigation Star”. Lexpert and Best Lawyers consistently recognize Simon’s expertise in corporate commercial litigation, directors’ and officers’ liability, securities litigation, arbitration and international arbitration, regulatory and public law, and professional liability.
