Bryan Finlay KC is recognized as one of the top litigation lawyers in Canada.
“Mr. Finlay, with his usual consummate skill…” (Ontario Court of Appeal)
Toronto Dominion Bank v Leigh Instruments Ltd (Trustee of) (1999) 45 OR (3d) 417, at p 419
Bryan’s counsel practice is broad and has engaged the most complex commercial, constitutional, tort and public law issues. These have included issues of corporate espionage, spoliation, fraud, shareholder rights, directors and officers’ responsibilities, financial reporting obligations, responsibilities and obligations of government and its various agencies, securities regulation, fiduciary obligations, defamation, policing, and competition law issues.
Bryan was awarded The Advocates’ Society Medal at a gala dinner on February 12, 2019. The Advocates’ Society Medal is the highest expression of esteem that the Society can convey to one of its members. It is intended to honour those who have demonstrated clearly their pre-eminence as counsel and who are acknowledged unequivocally as leaders of the bar, who have been dedicated and active members of The Advocates’ Society, and who have made a significant contribution to the profession of law and to the well-being of the community at large.
Bryan was also awarded the prestigious 2012 Ontario Bar Association Award for Excellence in Civil Litigation at a gala dinner on September 27, 2012 at which the Honourable Mr. Justice Cromwell, of the Supreme Court of Canada, was the keynote speaker.
In December 2015 Bryan accepted an invitation from the Supreme Court Advocacy Institute to join the Advisor Roster for Toronto. The Institute offers to all counsel appearing before the Court the opportunity to appear before a panel of two or three senior appellate counsel to moot their argument in advance of the hearing. The Institute has a roster of senior appellate counsel with significant Supreme Court of Canada experience (“advocacy advisors”) in every major Canadian city.

“Mr. Finlay, with his usual consummate skill…” (Ontario Court of Appeal)
Toronto Dominion Bank v Leigh Instruments Ltd (Trustee of) (1999) 45 OR (3d) 417, at p 419
Bryan’s counsel practice is broad and has engaged the most complex commercial, constitutional, tort and public law issues. These have included issues of corporate espionage, spoliation, fraud, shareholder rights, directors and officers’ responsibilities, financial reporting obligations, responsibilities and obligations of government and its various agencies, securities regulation, fiduciary obligations, defamation, policing, and competition law issues.
Bryan was awarded The Advocates’ Society Medal at a gala dinner on February 12, 2019. The Advocates’ Society Medal is the highest expression of esteem that the Society can convey to one of its members. It is intended to honour those who have demonstrated clearly their pre-eminence as counsel and who are acknowledged unequivocally as leaders of the bar, who have been dedicated and active members of The Advocates’ Society, and who have made a significant contribution to the profession of law and to the well-being of the community at large.
Bryan was also awarded the prestigious 2012 Ontario Bar Association Award for Excellence in Civil Litigation at a gala dinner on September 27, 2012 at which the Honourable Mr. Justice Cromwell, of the Supreme Court of Canada, was the keynote speaker.
In December 2015 Bryan accepted an invitation from the Supreme Court Advocacy Institute to join the Advisor Roster for Toronto. The Institute offers to all counsel appearing before the Court the opportunity to appear before a panel of two or three senior appellate counsel to moot their argument in advance of the hearing. The Institute has a roster of senior appellate counsel with significant Supreme Court of Canada experience (“advocacy advisors”) in every major Canadian city.
