When our small business faced a daunting and unexpected expropriation notice from the city for a planned road expansion, the future of our investment was thrown into serious doubt. We needed an attorney with a deep, specialized understanding of municipal law, and John S. Doherty at Gowling WLG proved to be exactly that. From our first consultation, his command of the intricate legal and procedural frameworks governing municipal actions was immediately apparent. John didn't just react to the notice; he conducted a thorough analysis of the city's authority, the valuation methods used, and the potential for alternative solutions. His 11 years of focused experience in this niche area were evident in every strategic discussion. He navigated negotiations with city officials and their counsel with a firm yet professional demeanor, ultimately securing a settlement that not only provided fair compensation but also allowed for a modified business continuity plan we hadn't thought possible. The recognition he has received in municipal and expropriation law is clearly well-earned. John demystified a complex and stressful process, communicated with clarity at every step, and achieved an outcome that protected our interests completely. He is a consummate professional and a formidable advocate.
