About Melekhovets Law

Melekhovets Law is a sole legal practice based in downtown Toronto, founded by Julia Melekhovets. The founder is a barrister, solicitor, and notary public admitted to the Ontario Bar in 2012, holding a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Criminology from York University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law. Before opening the practice, Melekhovets articled and worked at two downtown Toronto litigation firms. The founder is fluent in English and Russian.

The practice handles family law, corporate law, and civil litigation, serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area, including York Region, Halton, Peel, and Durham. Family law work spans divorce, separation, child and spousal support, parenting arrangements, property division, domestic contracts, and matters such as child protection and child abduction. On the corporate side, the firm handles incorporations, shareholder and partnership agreements, and contract review for clients ranging from sole proprietors to corporations. Its civil litigation work covers commercial disputes, breach of contract, and property litigation, with appearances at the Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal.

The neighbourhood

Melekhovets Law's office sits inside The Law Chambers at 393 University Avenue, a building known as University Centre near Dundas Street West in downtown Toronto's legal district. Rather than operating as a single unified firm, the Law Chambers model gives independent lawyers and small firms private offices with shared administrative support, so the building houses a mix of legal specialties under one roof.

The address also puts the practice close to the courts its litigation work depends on. University Centre is just steps from the Superior Court of Justice, the Registrar of the Superior Court, the Toronto courthouse, and City Hall, and it sits next to the St Patrick subway station for clients travelling in from elsewhere in the GTA.
