About DPD Law Professional Corporation
DPD Law Professional Corporation is a solo construction law practice in North York, run by lawyer Paul Dipede. The firm advises businesses across the construction industry, including developers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers, on contracts, corporate and commercial matters, and related insurance, labour, and commercial leasing issues. Its services page pitches the firm as a flexible alternative to hiring full-time in-house counsel, with legal support scaled to a project's needs.
Paul Dipede earned a Juris Doctor from Bond University in 2014 and was called to the Ontario bar in June 2016. Before founding DPD Law, Dipede spent most of a legal career as general counsel for mid to large general contractors, reviewing and negotiating construction contracts that ranged from large public-private partnership infrastructure deals to standard subcontracts.
DPD Law operates out of the same North York building on Toro Road as Corebuild Construction Ltd, the general contractor where Dipede has worked as general counsel. The firm also publishes a blog on Ontario construction law, covering topics such as construction liens, the province's Prompt Payment rules, and procurement risk in the industry.

The neighbourhood
DPD Law's office is on Toro Road in North York, in the same building as Corebuild Construction Ltd, the general contractor where founder Paul Dipede has worked as general counsel. Rather than a downtown office tower, the firm operates from inside a construction company's own premises, a detail that lines up with its focus on legal work for contractors and other construction industry clients rather than a general walk-in practice.
