Arthur L. Hamilton

Arthur L. Hamilton is a Partner in the Litigation and Dispute Resolution, Insurance, and Fraud and Asset Recovery groups at Dentons, based in Toronto. His practice focuses on Dispute Resolution.

He advises public and private companies, institutional clients and regulated parties on a wide range of disputes and proactive risk mitigation strategies to avoid compliance failings and protracted proceedings. Clients facing complex disputes, contract and business tort litigation, financial institution and regulatory litigation, as well as administrative law and governance issues, choose Arthur because his approach extends beyond simply executing the steps required in the litigation process.

Known for his organisational acumen, Arthur's mandates routinely involve disputes with multiple parties, multiple issues and, in some instances, multiple decision-makers across numerous jurisdictions. Clients benefit from his ability to manage a large number of stakeholders on complex disputes.

His recent work includes representing insurers and intermediaries in regulatory, administrative and disciplinary proceedings, assisting insurance clients on market conduct investigations and hearings, supporting companies during internal investigations and representing them in court proceedings where asset freezes or preservation of property are required in advance of judgment. He also advises clients on risks and potential liabilities arising from the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.

Arthur has deep trial experience and has appeared before the Superior Courts in numerous provinces, appellate courts in Ontario and British Columbia, the Federal Court, The Supreme Court of Canada, various administrative tribunals and regulatory bodies, as well as Parliamentary and Senate Committees and federal commissions.

He holds an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School and a BA from the University of Toronto. He is recognised by Thomson Reuters as a Stand-out Lawyer, by The Legal 500 Canada for Insurance, by Chambers Canada for Insurance: Dispute Resolution, by Benchmark Litigation as a Litigation Star for FCPA, Anti-Corruption and White Collar Crime, and by Best Lawyers in Canada for Administrative and Public Law.
