About Shenton Sakinofsky LLP

Shenton Sakinofsky LLP is a two lawyer real estate and wills firm in North York, on the Yonge Street corridor near Sheppard Avenue. Founders Paul Shenton and Julian Sakinofsky were both called to the Ontario bar in 1996. Shenton opened a solo practice in 2012 after articling at a small real estate litigation firm in Markham, while Sakinofsky spent years as in house counsel for an insurance company and a municipal transit company before turning to real estate and property law full time. The two later joined forces to form the current partnership, which has now practised real estate law, wills, and notary services in the Toronto area for more than 24 years.

Shenton studied historical linguistics at the University of Toronto before completing a law degree there, and Sakinofsky earned a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. The firm concentrates on residential and commercial real estate transactions, wills, powers of attorney, estate administration, and notary public services, and it serves clients across the Greater Toronto Area in English, French, and Russian.
