It was a classic David-and-Goliath scenario. Mr. Ward was terminated by one of the country's largest financial institutions after 30 years of service—and had his retirement monies withheld. Eric Williams led the team that successfully represented Mr. Ward's case: the defendant corporation was ordered to pay Mr. Ward what he was owed as well as damages for breach of contract and fiduciary duty—and the second-highest punitive damages ever awarded in a commercial case in Canada.
Lead lawyer and senior partner Eric Williams has served as legal counsel in over 165 civil court trials and appeals and has over 90 reported cases.
Williams McEnery's legal knowledge and litigation expertise not only produce desirable outcomes for clients but have also helped shape Canadian law. In what the Globe and Mail called one of the most significant cases of 2007, Williams McEnery successfully defended the hosts of a social gathering after one of their guests caused a serious motor vehicle accident—leading to a precedent-setting Supreme Court of Canada statement on individual responsibility and alcohol consumption.
What does a history of more than 275 court trials and appeals add up to? Results. Exhibit A: the first award of damages for employee burnout in a Canadian wrongful dismissal case. That's the kind of experience Williams McEnery puts to work for every client.
