COVID-19 and the proliferation of new technology solutions have forever changed the methods of resolving legal disputes. To meet the needs of practitioners in this rapidly changing space, McCarthy Tétrault’s Virtual Advocacy: Litigating from a Distance addresses key issues arising from an increasingly virtual practice.

With contributions from judges and some of Canada’s leading lawyers, this unique and timely treatise is a comprehensive guide to litigating through every stage of a matter’s lifecycle and across every level of court. By providing strategic and procedural considerations for practical application, it aims to establish a new way of operating, exploring virtual dispute resolution both in and out of the courts.

The book covers virtual dispute resolution matters in the context of

• Civil Litigation, dealing with civil actions at each level of court;
• Non-Civil Litigation, addressing administrative tribunals and arbitrations; and
• Virtual Advocacy Considerations, covering a variety of general concerns no matter what virtual advocacy forum you are in.

Edited by Sean Petrou and Akiva Stern, the book features contributions from McCarthy Tétrault lawyers, including Jordan Bierkos, Sam Rogers, Jacob Klugsberg, Alexandra Cocks, Eric Pellegrino, Moya Graham, Sarit E. Batner, Holly Kallmeyer, Jamie S. S. Holtom, Edwin Mok, Andrew Medico, Michael Feder, K.C., Connor Bildfell, Robin McKechney, Alexander Steele, Thomas N.T. Sutton, Gillian P. Kerr, William Main, and Adam Dobkin.

The book is available for purchase from LexisNexis.
