Municipal corporations turn to Billington Barristers for advice on situations not regularly faced by their legal departments. Billington Barristers are experienced in developing strategies on handling major property developers who become insolvent or who are otherwise unable to fulfil obligations which are owed to municipalities. Billington Barristers operates on a “barristers’ chambers model”, where we work in concert with the legal department or law firm retaining our representation. As such, the firm has successfully developed and implemented action plans to respond to emergency situations, and to manage the legal framework for overseeing economic events that had not been previously encountered under municipal government legislation. We provide strategic consulting, implementation in court applications, and training of in-house lawyers to equip the municipality to handle previously unanticipated situations on an ongoing basis.
The firm also provides consultation and representation to municipalities in responding to the insolvency, bankruptcy or restructuring of corporations that owe substantial obligations, or which are contractually involved with the municipality.
Richard N. Billington, Q.C. lectures professional associations on how municipalities can enhance their statutorily mandated authority through judicial remedies. Monique Morin researched papers for presentation at professional and industry conferences on municipal authority.
