Shaan Tolani provides practical advice during complex commercial disputes and investigations to help guide clients to the best possible outcome for them.

Shaan's litigation practice focuses on commercial disputes, securities, financial crimes and asset recovery, including as part of complex cross-border matters. His expertise extends to matters raised in the context of insolvency and restructuring proceedings. The diverse range of clients that Shaan represents on these matters includes companies, directors, officers, founders, shareholders and creditors among others.

With a proven track record conducting trials (including multi-month trials), motions for injunctive and other relief, appeals, regulatory proceedings and arbitrations, Shaan brings a wealth of experience to every case. Shaan also regularly advises clients dealing with internal and regulatory investigations (such as those brought by the OSC and BCSC) as well as asset investigations, ensuring comprehensive legal support.

Shaan takes a collaborative approach to his work. He regularly coordinates with a broad range of colleagues across jurisdictions, such as law firms, insolvency professionals and external investigators. This enables him to effectively handle multi-jurisdictional disputes and asset recovery efforts.

Shaan's advocacy skills were recognized in law school, where he and his team received awards for their oral and written advocacy in corporate/securities litigation and criminal/constitutional law.

Before joining Bennett Jones as an associate, Shaan summered and articled with the firm. He is a member of the Ontario Bar Association, the Canadian Bar Association and the Advocates' Society, and also serves as a registered notary public.
