Wendy Gross

A determined and practical advocate for complex commercial disputes

Our company retained Wendy Gross at Osler to handle a contentious breach of contract and shareholder dispute that threatened to derail a major acquisition. From our first meeting, her 19 years of experience on Bay Street were evident. She provided exceptionally clear, common-sense advice that cut through the legal complexities and focused on our business objectives. Her reputation as a tough-minded litigator proved accurate; she was formidable in negotiations and her preparation was meticulous, which undoubtedly pressured the other side to settle on favorable terms before trial. The outcome protected our interests completely. The only minor critique, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that during the most intense phases, communication from her direct office could occasionally lag by a day, which our internal team sometimes found stressful. That said, when we did connect, her guidance was always worth the wait. I would confidently recommend Wendy to any business facing high-stakes commercial litigation in Toronto.
