About Schible Law
Schible Law is a small litigation firm at 181 University Avenue in downtown Toronto, run by lawyer Guillermo Schible. The practice concentrates on employment litigation, especially wrongful dismissal claims, commercial litigation in Ontario's Superior Court and through private arbitration, and appeals. On the commercial side, the caseload has included shareholder oppression claims, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract disputes.
Schible graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2004 and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2005. The appellate practice has reached the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada, including arguing Rasouli v. Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, a case about consent to withdraw life-sustaining treatment. The firm deliberately keeps a limited number of clients rather than growing in size, aiming for a close, responsive relationship on each file. It offers standard hourly billing along with alternative arrangements, including fixed fees and contingency retainers for eligible commercial matters, and Schible speaks Spanish in addition to English.

The neighbourhood
Schible Law's office is in Adelaide Place, the DBRS Tower, at the northeast corner of University Avenue and Adelaide Street, in Toronto's financial and legal district. The building sits roughly midway between the Osgoode and St. Andrew subway stations, with underground parking reached from the north side of Adelaide Street and a second lot across the road.
That puts the firm within walking distance of Osgoode Hall, which has housed Ontario's highest courts since 1846 and remains the working home of the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Superior Court of Justice, the courts where the firm's appellate work is argued.
