Bennett Best Burn LLP Barristers and Solicitors



Our Practice Areas

Our size is large enough to allow for specialization among our lawyers but small and efficient enough to generate cooperation between our practice areas. Our philosophy and size dictate a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to legal services and problem solving.

Client services can be categorized into five basic areas. Often, our work involves lawyers from several of our practice groups to best serve a particular client's needs.

Business Law

The lawyers in this group assist clients with acquisitions, divestitures, security issue financing, tax matters, private debt financing, financial organizations, secured transactions, trusts, factoring, and general commercial and corporate domestic and international transactions. We are involved in all the legal aspects of business start-ups and wind-ups, expansions and restructuring.

For more information, please contact Nicholas A. Best, David W. Burn, Nick Dimitropoulos or A. Paul Mahaffy.

Civil Litigation

Our litigation lawyers act for both plaintiffs and defendants in general commercial litigation, negligence cases including motor vehicle accident and medical malpractice claims, bankruptcy and insolvency litigation, receiverships and collections, and in litigation on behalf of insurance companies and their insureds. Our lawyers are experienced in personal property security enforcement, surety and fidelity bond matters, insurance coverage disputes relating to first-party and third-party coverages in most property and casualty areas, subrogation, produce industry problems and employment issues

Our lawyers in this group have acted as counsel in several class actions in such areas as transportation catastrophes, medical malpractice and mass employee terminations.
