About Siskind Doyle LLP
This Toronto litigation practice traces back to 2017, when Michael Doyle started a solo practice focused on commercial and real estate litigation. Matthew Barteaux joined in 2019 and the two practiced together as Doyle Barteaux LLP. In March 2024, the firm joined with Jillian M. Siskind & Associates to form Siskind Doyle LLP, and it has since continued as Doyle Bennett LLP, working out of an office on Shaftesbury Avenue. The firm concentrates on construction, real estate, and regulatory disputes, acting for builders, developers, homeowners, and licensed professionals.
Michael Doyle was called to the Ontario bar in 2001. Before entering private practice, the founder spent nine years as Senior Counsel at Tarion Warranty Corporation, working on construction and warranty disputes involving homeowners, builders, and developers. Jason D. Bennett was called to the bar in 2002 and brings more than twenty years in professional regulation, discipline, and governance, including senior roles at the Ontario College of Teachers, the Ontario College of Trades, and the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada. Bennett currently serves as General Counsel to the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority. That mix of construction, real estate, and regulatory experience shapes the matters the firm takes on.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on Shaftesbury Avenue, in Toronto's Rosedale Moore Park neighbourhood. It's a small property, closer in scale to the houses around it than to a downtown office tower, which suits a litigation practice that deals directly with builders, homeowners, and licensed professionals rather than large institutional clients.
