Ruberto Sheikh LLP

About Ruberto Sheikh LLP

Ruberto Sheikh LLP is a Thunder Bay law firm founded in 2022 by lawyers Luke Ruberto and Nadir Sheikh. Ruberto earned an undergraduate degree in political science and philosophy from Lakehead University, then a law degree from Cardiff University in Wales, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2015. Sheikh studied at the University of Toronto before earning a J.D. from Bond University in Australia and was called to the bar in 2013. The two now lead a team of six lawyers working in family and divorce law, real estate law, wills and estates, civil litigation, and child protection law.

The firm's reach goes well past Thunder Bay itself. Its lawyers appear regularly in the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice across Northwestern Ontario, including Fort Frances, Kenora, and Dryden, and as far away as Toronto and Newmarket. Several of the firm's lawyers, including associates Matthew Huston and Carter Fontaine, trained at Lakehead University's Bora Laskin Faculty of Law before joining the team. Associate Kady Stachiw, a University of Ottawa law graduate originally from Thunder Bay, later returned home to lecture at Bora Laskin before joining the firm. Ruberto also serves as president of the Thunder Bay Law Association, having served as one of its directors since 2016.
