Christopher Doll represents clients with diverse interests, in all levels of court and less formal proceedings such as arbitration and mediation. Serious personal injury, contractual, and insurance claims have been the focus of Chris’s practice since he joined North Shore Law in 1990.

Chris was awarded the designation “Queen’s Counsel” (now “King’s Counsel” following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022) in 2015, an honorary title recognizing exceptional merit and contribution to the legal profession.

Chris will meet with you to learn your concerns, understand your position, and identify the core issues that are in dispute. He will work with you to develop the evidence necessary to present your case in a clear and persuasive manner. By identifying the most important issues from the outset, Chris can help you pursue a favourable resolution early on in the process, minimizing disruptions to your life, business, and relationships. If a dispute cannot be resolved without resorting to litigation, Chris has the skills and the trial experience to advocate effectively for your interests in court. 

Chris has been involved in the settlement and litigation of construction claims since the “leaky condo” litigation of the 1990s. He continues to represent clients in resolving complex construction disputes. He also assists the firm’s corporate clients in the resolution of issues involving the governance of corporations and non-profit societies.

After obtaining his law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, Chris spent one year as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. He then came to North Shore Law to start in private practice.
