What our clients say

We retained Gudmundseth Mickelson to handle a multi-million dollar contract dispute. Howard Mickelson, K.C. and Allan Doolittle mastered a complex and technical subject area and skillfully handled an intense litigation process. Their dedication and energy was unparalleled, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

David Eisler, Managing Director, Regiment Equity Partners Inc., and Mike Martin, Director of Sedulus Capital Ltd.

Stein Gudmundseth and his team have provided brilliant litigation support to our company for a number of years. The service, value and quality of their work is second to none. They are available at any time of the day or evening to accept our calls, and jump to action when required. Stein is an expert in defending insurance and investment related disputes and we surely count ourselves lucky to have him working on our behalf. He has the unique ability to balance legal issues with commercial realities and the results he achieves for us are simply extraordinary – as a litigation manager, he makes me look good. I highly recommend Stein and his team.

Gregory Geatros, Retired Associate General Counsel, AEGON Canada Inc. and Transamerica Life Canada.

Andrew Gay assisted our company with two litigation matters, one involving an issue of municipal law that was very important to our housing development, and another involving a breach of contract claim we had initiated. In both cases, Andrew identified a smart litigation strategy based on a thorough legal analysis of the case. We never lost sight of the strategy and both cases were resolved to our satisfaction, the first through a victory in court and the second through mediation. Andrew and his team were always available and were easy to work with. I have no hesitation recommending Andrew and Gudmundseth Mickelson LLP.
