About Sonja Hodis

Sonja Hodis practices law from an office in Barrie, Ontario, working as a lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator in an independent practice rather than as part of a larger firm. Hodis holds a B.A. Honours in English and History from York University and an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School. The practice centers on condominium law, wills and estates, and civil litigation, and it also takes on property disputes, employment law matters, mortgage enforcement, breach of contract claims, and administrative law issues. Alongside private practice, Hodis serves as a part-time Vice Chair of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal, an appointment confirmed on Ontario's Public Appointments Secretariat website, adjudicating worker's compensation appeals.

That adjudicative background, over 25 years as a litigator and over 15 years as an adjudicator, carries into the mediation and arbitration side of the practice, which handles condominium and estate disputes and can be conducted in a virtual online format. Hodis has been active with the Canadian Condominium Institute's Huronia chapter for over 20 years, has served on CCI's National Executive board and chaired its national events committee, and received CCI's Distinguished Service Award. Hodis also writes articles on condominium, employment, and estate law topics and speaks regularly at CCI educational events.
