Marshall is a litigation lawyer. He was centrally involved in the Indian Residential Schools,
Tainted Blood (Hepatitis C) and other national lawsuits involving big governments and institutions in cases
often exceeding a billion dollars. He has
acted for Canadian and international corporations, governments and
banks and class
representatives and individuals. For over 30 years, he has been involved in large, complex,
high-stakes banking, criminal, civil, divorce, tort
and other cases, conducting
hundreds of trials, hearings and appeals at all levels of court in Canada successfully defending over $1 Billion in claims against banks. For the
past decade he has acted for plaintiffs in lawsuits and class
actions against
institutions and governments achieving over $5 Billion in settlements for victims.
He is well know for the vigorous and uncompromising representation
of his clients when their cases go to court. Mr. Marshall began acting in banking lawsuits in 1980 and from 1984 to 1998, devoted most of his practice to defending big banks sued by business borrowers in lawsuits ranging from $5 Million to $500 Million in court cases in Canada and the United States. These cases involved the likes of business legends Nelson Skalbania, Peter Thomas, Peter Petrasuk and Peter Pocklington, to name a few. His banking litigation practice provided him the opportunity of working with and learning from the best counsel in Canada. From 1987 until Mr. Major’s appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada, Mr. Marshall was co-counsel with Jack Major, a top trial lawyer, of Bennett Jones, one of Canada's best law firms, defending Royal Bank of Canada in a series of multi-million dollar lender liability lawsuits. From 1991 until 1998, Marshall defended these cases with co-counsel Cliff O'Brien, another top trial lawyer, former Chairman of Bennett Jones LLP and now a judge of the Alberta Court of Appeal.
