About Stienburg Law

Stienburg Law, operating as Christopher Stienburg Professional Corporation, is a small civil litigation firm in downtown Toronto founded by Christopher Stienburg. Stienburg holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Western University, attended the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, and earned a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in 2013, followed by a call to the bar in 2014. The firm's core focus is civil litigation, with named practice areas in employment law, academic appeals, personal injury, and police misconduct, plus general commercial matters such as breach of contract, shareholder disputes, and fraud claims.

One of the firm's more distinctive files is academic appeals work: Stienburg was lead counsel in Lam v. UWO (2019 ONCA 82), an Ontario Court of Appeal decision on contracts between students and universities, and the firm has represented clients at the Superior Court of Ontario, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, and the Supreme Court of Canada. Beyond Stienburg, the team includes associate lawyers Jia Wang, an Osgoode Hall graduate who is fluent in Mandarin and has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and in arbitration, and Jonathan Fredericks, called to the Ontario bar in 2026 after articling at a litigation firm in Markham, along with a civil litigation law clerk.
