About Jordyn Selznick

Commercial disputes are the heart of Jordyn Selznick's work as an associate with Gowling WLG in Toronto, where Selznick sits in the firm's Disputes Department as a commercial litigator. Complicated files call for organization and strategy, and efficiency matters too, which is how the associate likes to approach them.

Selznick was called to the Ontario bar in 2025, after finishing a combined JD/MBA at the University of Toronto. Journalism came first, though: a Bachelor of Journalism with distinction from Carleton University, along with the CTV Scholarship in Broadcast Journalism.

In 2025 the University of Toronto Faculty of Law Review published Selznick's article proposing unjust enrichment, kept apart from tort law, as a way to get remedies for victims of forced labour in Canadian multinationals' global supply chains. During law school, Selznick was a senior editor of the review's blog, Forum Conveniens, argued in the Callaghan Competitive Moot, gave time to the Artists' Legal Advice Services clinic and helped an organization working to return Holocaust-era looted art. There were teaching assistant roles too, at Rotman Commerce and at the Undergraduate Writing Centre.
