About Robins Appleby LLP

Robins Appleby LLP is a mid sized law firm in Toronto's financial district, at Suite 2600, 120 Adelaide Street West. The firm has provided legal advice to entrepreneurs, businesses, financial institutions, and foreign companies doing business in Canada for more than 70 years. Its work is organized into eight practice groups: affordable and social housing, business and transactions, commercial real estate and development, employment law, litigation and dispute resolution, secured lending and enforcement, tax, and wills and estates. In 2023 the firm joined Lawyers Associated Worldwide, a network of independent law firms, giving it a way to support clients with matters outside Canada.

One thing that sets Robins Appleby apart is its Affordable and Social Housing group, one of the only dedicated teams of its kind at an Ontario law firm. It's led by a lawyer who previously served as General Counsel at Toronto Community Housing Corporation, and the group has closed multiple acquisitions under the City of Toronto's Multi Unit Residential Acquisition program for non profit housing providers, including Houselink and Mainstay Community Housing and Raising the Roof Chez Toit. In the 2026 edition of Best Law Firms, published by Best Lawyers, Robins Appleby was ranked nationally in trusts and estates and regionally in Toronto for trusts and estates, real estate law, corporate and commercial litigation, labour and employment law, and tax law.
