Necpal Litigation is a Toronto commercial litigation boutique founded in 2016 by Justin Necpal, formerly of Torys LLP. The firm acts for corporations, shareholders, directors and officers, investors, creditors, entrepreneurs, and professionals in high-stakes disputes where financial, governance, and reputational issues are central. A significant portion of its work is referred by other Canadian and US law firms, reflecting the trust and confidence of its peers.
The firm's practice areas include shareholder and partnership disputes, oppression claims, director and officer liability, fiduciary duty litigation, fraud and investment loss recovery, insolvency-related proceedings, restrictive covenant enforcement, and executive employment disputes. The firm is regularly retained at critical points in a dispute – ownership breakdowns, contested control, and allegations of misconduct – where clients need clear, strategic advice and decisive advocacy.
Necpal Litigation's lawyers are seasoned trial and appellate advocates, appearing frequently on Toronto's Commercial List and before the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Much of this work involves emergency relief – including injunctions, Anton Piller orders, and court-appointed supervisory roles – sought in situations where assets, evidence, or control of a business are at risk before a dispute can be fully litigated.
The firm also acts for regulated professionals facing investigations and enforcement proceedings, and advises organizations and individuals on internal workplace investigations. As a boutique practice, Necpal Litigation offers clients close collaboration and direct access to senior counsel, and prepares every matter as though it will be tried – a standard that holds all the way through to judgment, when a dispute demands it.
