Christopher Rae practices civil and commercial litigation. He has broad experience litigating a variety of civil and commercial disputes (including contract, shareholder and governance disputes), fraud, breach of confidence, product liability, professional negligence, insurance and insurance brokering.

Christopher regularly represents clients across a range of industries, including agriculture, mining, automotive, transportation (including railway, trucking, and aviation), entertainment, government, insurance, professional services, and manufacturers, distributors and retailers of consumer and food products.
Christopher has significant experience handling matters requiring urgent and extraordinary relief, including injunctions and Anton Piller orders. For that reason, Christopher’s clients have retained him to act as counsel on critical time-sensitive matters of national importance, such as with respect to the unlawful blockading of Canada Post’s facilities in 2018 (in which Christopher acted as lead litigation counsel for Canada Post nationally and in Ontario), and the railway blockades in 2020. In both cases, Fasken successfully obtained injunctions in various jurisdictions across the country to bring an end to the widely reported unlawful blockade activities.
