What Conway Baxter Wilson LLP/s.r.l. does

Conway Baxter Wilson LLP/s.r.l. (doing business as Conway Litigation) is an Ottawa-based boutique litigation law firm founded in 2014. The firm operates as a private limited liability partnership registered in Ontario, Canada, with approximately 22-25 total staff, including 19 lawyers (10 partners and 9 associates). Its practice is organized around three interconnected service lines: Corporate & Commercial Litigation & Arbitration; Public, Administrative & Regulatory Law; and Appellate Advocacy, with work appearing at all levels of Canadian courts including the Supreme Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal.

The firm serves corporate and institutional clients (e.g., TekSavvy Solutions, Metro Taxi Ltd., National Supply Management Organization), government bodies (e.g., Transportation Safety Board of Canada), and civil-society and Indigenous organizations (e.g., First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada, Quebec English School Boards Association), as well as individuals on class action and tort matters. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billing on a quote-based, hourly engagement model; no subscription, contingency, or alternative fee structures are disclosed. The Ottawa headquarters at 400-411 Roosevelt Avenue is strategically positioned for federal jurisdiction, Charter litigation, regulatory defence, and appellate work before national institutions.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on a concentrated bench of litigators with elite appellate credentials — multiple associates are former judicial clerks at the Supreme Court of Canada and Federal Court of Appeal — and on the leadership of partners with senior roles in the Law Society of Ontario, The Advocates' Society, and public inquiries. Distribution is driven by professional referrals within the Canadian bar, thought-leadership publications, and pro bono engagement rather than marketing or external sales channels. The firm has no disclosed AI, technology, or proprietary software products and operates as a traditional legal practice.
