About Rutherford Law and ADR

Rutherford Law and ADR is a small condominium law and civil litigation firm in Toronto, founded by Benjamin Rutherford. The firm represents condominium corporations, property managers, developers, and business owners in court, before tribunals, and in mediation and arbitration, including defending managers against complaints to the CMRAO. It also advises developers, real estate brokerages, and business owners on commercial, construction, landlord and tenant, and land disputes.

Rutherford also works as a mediator and arbitrator, with over twenty years of litigation experience across condominium, commercial, and real estate disputes, and serves as a Deputy Judge in the Toronto Small Claims Court. The firm's other lawyers bring different paths into condominium practice: one trained as a litigator in India before qualifying in Canada and articling at the firm, and another is fluent in Dari and Farsi. Rutherford Law and ADR also runs a CMRAO-accredited Cybersecurity Lunch and Learn series for property managers, with past sessions on data privacy and phishing, and it processes condominium liens within twenty-four hours.
