Max Libman is an associate at DMG Advocates practicing commercial and public litigation. While Max maintains a general litigation practice, he has experience in real estate, commercial leasing and condominium disputes, shareholder disputes and corporate director/officer liability claims. Max also maintains a judgment enforcement practice.

Max takes pride in his pragmatic and flexible approach to advocacy. He understands that every client has a different view of what success means in litigation and he makes sure that the client’s vision of success is the guiding force behind his strategy and decision making. While the pursuit of victory is always top of mind for Max, he is also sensitive to the fact that litigation can at times be an emotionally taxing experience, and he always tailors his advice to the particular needs of the client.

Prior to joining DMG Advocates in 2021, Max worked as a staff lawyer for the Ontario Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission. Max helped the Commission investigate and assess the response of various parties – including the province of Ontario and its long-term care providers – to the spread of COVID-19 in Ontario’s long-term care homes.

From 2018-2020, Max served as a staff lawyer for the Collingwood Judicial Inquiry. The Inquiry examined and evaluated the processes used by the Town of Collingwood to both sell a major Town asset and procure new facilities.

Along with DMG partner Kathryn Manning and colleagues Michael Robson and Michelle Alonso de Mesa, Max is a co-author of a chapter dealing with enforcement of judgements in the Civil Procedure and Practice in Ontario text published by CanLii.

Max also volunteers with the Pro Bono Ontario Free Legal Advice Hotline and the McGill Faculty of Law Alumni Mentorship Program.
