ABOUT VIDIT DESWAL
I am a litigation lawyer qualified in Ontario and Alberta, and admitted to practise in India, with a focused practice in construction, condominium, and complex commercial litigation. I regularly appear before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Divisional Court, including in judicial review proceedings, and have experience advancing matters through motions, applications, trials, and appellate-level advocacy.My practice centers on construction and development-related disputes, including construction lien and trust claims, Tarion/ONHWP warranty matters, condominium governance and turnover disputes, and contractual and commercial litigation. I routinely draft and argue pleadings, motion materials, and facta; conduct examinations for discovery and cross-examinations; and advise on litigation strategy in high-stakes and time-sensitive matters.I bring a disciplined, analytical, and commercially grounded approach to advocacy. My experience includes advising developers, corporate stakeholders, and senior management on litigation risk, exposure, and resolution strategy, with a consistent focus on efficiency, precision, and outcomes. I have worked both in private practice and in-house environments, giving me a practical understanding of how legal risk intersects with business decision-making.I am a graduate of the University of Toronto, O.P. Jindal Global Law School, the Indian Law Institute, and the Indian Society of International Law, and remain actively engaged in professional development and the broader legal community.
