About Dodokin Law & Conflict Resolution

Dodokin Law & Conflict Resolution is a Toronto firm built around a single practitioner, Robin A. Dodokin, who practises through Robin A. Dodokin Professional Corporation. Dodokin was called to the bar in 1993 and spent 23 years in private practice, first as an associate lawyer and later as a partner at a mid-size firm, before founding Dodokin Law & Conflict Resolution in 2017. The firm now combines two connected practices: commercial litigation and insolvency, and mediation and arbitration.

Dodokin holds an LL.M in Alternative Dispute Resolution from Osgoode Hall Law School, is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and carries Qualified Arbitrator and Qualified Mediator designations from the ADR Institute of Canada, along with a Certified Family Business Advisor designation from the Family Firm Institute. As a litigator, the practice covers business and shareholder disputes, oppression remedy claims, family business succession conflicts, real estate disputes, and insolvency matters, including work for court-appointed officers and trustees. As an arbitrator, appointments have covered commercial, contractual, insolvency, real estate, and shareholder disputes across industries such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, and hospitality.

The neighbourhood

Dodokin Law & Conflict Resolution is based in Toronto's Financial District, working out of Arbitration Place inside the Bay Adelaide Centre West tower on Bay Street. Arbitration Place is a dispute resolution facility with purpose-built hearing rooms, court reporting support, and its own roster of arbitrators and mediators. For a practice built entirely around mediation, arbitration, and commercial litigation, working out of a dedicated hearing facility rather than a conventional law office fits the kind of work the firm does, close to the rooms where those hearings actually happen.
