BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Dupras has represented hundreds of clients in matters
ranging from
multi-million dollar civil lawsuits against the Government of Ontario
to construction disputes in commercial and residential settings.
His past and present clients include building owners and developers,
home
owners, general contractors, sub-trades, suppliers, and commercial
tenants.
Adversaries have included the same groups, with the addition of
insurance companies, and a variety of government bodies such as the
Attorney General of Ontario.
A portion of Mr. Dupras' practice is dedicated to pro
bono
cases which are selected purely on the basis of his personal interest.
Construction matters have spanned liens on commercial properties,
residential properties, bonding and surety, contractual disputes,
management of projects, delay and acceleration claims, design and
negligence issues.
Civil litigation matters have included insurance claims for property
damage, personal injury matters, employment law, the return of seized
assets by the Federal and Provincial governments, and professional
negligence against other lawyers.
