Jason Murphy
Jason practices family, civil
and estate litigation with Christie/Cummings. He joined the firm in 2011 after
practicing for several years at a large Toronto
law firm.
In his family litigation practice, Jason advises clients on resolving disputes
about custody, access, child support, spousal support and the division of
property and debt. While comfortable in court, Jason is also experienced in
addressing family law issues through non-court-based methods such as the
negotiation of separation agreements, mediation, arbitration and collaborative family practice. He also
advises clients on the creation of co-habitation and marriage contracts, which
set out in advance how couples will deal with a potential breakdown in their
relationship.
In his civil litigation practice, Jason represents financial institutions,
manufacturers, businesses and individuals in the resolution of complex
commercial disputes. His areas of experience include product liability, breach
of contract, corporate governance, shareholder disputes, enforcement of foreign
judgments, insurance, employment, fraud, banking and franchise law.
In his estate litigation practice, Jason assists clients with disputes
pertaining to wills, powers of attorney, mental capacity and court-appointment
of guardians of personal care and property. These areas often involve high
emotion and complex family dynamics, so Jason takes an approach that is focused
on preserving both rights and relationships.
Jason received his law degree from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in
2002. He also holds a Masters degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto
and a Bachelor of Social Sciences from the University of Ottawa.
Outside of the office, Jason is an avid hiker, canoer, writer and dad. He
fundraises for a number of causes including the University
of Toronto Food Bank and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society.
The courts are no place for
families in crisis.
Traditional divorce litigation is best described by the three
“C’s”: high conflict, low control and major costs. Collaborative
divorce deals with relationship breakdown in a far healthier way, giving
separating couples the best chance to move on with their lives through a separation
agreement that is client-made, child-focused and cost-effective.
Those are three “C’s” I’ll take over traditional divorce any day.
