Areas of Focus: Types of Issues Handled
Question: What types of legal issues can a paralegal in Ontario help me with for litigation or disputes?
Answer: Sharda Paralegal provides paralegal services in Ontario that can assist with common dispute types such as breach of contract, construction disputes, consumer protection complaints, unpaid debts and liens, employment-related claims, and tort claims, including help with procedure, evidence organization, and presenting your position in the appropriate forum. The right fit depends on the facts, the court or tribunal involved, and what remedies you’re seeking, so it’s best to confirm scope and next steps in an initial consultation.
Understanding the Types of Issues/Wrongdoings that May Be Litigated
The body of law is much too large for any individual person to ever know in full. Indeed, even highly experienced judges with decades of experience will be without full knowledge of the law and are therefore, usually, assigned to handle a narrow focus of cases that are within areas of law that are familiar to the judge. Even so, judges will routinely expect representatives for the parties to perform precedent research and then provide submissions and present argument based upon the findings of that research.

McIntyre Estate v. Ontario, 2001 CanLII 7972 (ON CA)
It is common for adjudicators to be assigned matters within defined subject areas based on experience and familiarity with the issues that most often arise in those proceedings. In a similar way, legal practitioners tend to focus their work within particular practice areas that align with the types of disputes they most frequently handle across courts, tribunals, and other decision making bodies. While every case turns on its own facts, legal systems have developed over centuries, and truly novel legal issues are relatively uncommon, meaning established legal principles and precedent will usually exist to guide the analysis and outcome. Engaging representation that is closely aligned with the specific issues in dispute can improve strategic focus, enhance the quality of legal research and argument, promote procedural efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs, and strengthen the overall likelihood of a well-reasoned and favourable result.
