Welcome to Magrath’s International Legal Counsel

Based in Toronto, Canada, Gavin Magrath practices law and provides international counsel in a number of areas:

We advise foreign and domestic clients on admiralty, maritime, and transportation claims and litigation in the Superior and Federal Courts, in arbitrations, and before tribunals. I also assist other counsel in litigation involving, inter alia, conflict of laws, issues of forum or jurisdiction, or application of Conventions or international maritime law.
