About Belsito Law

Belsito Law is a small, family-run litigation firm based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, that has represented clients in complex legal disputes for over four decades. Its team brings decades of combined experience in litigation. Its current lawyer, Christopher M. Belsito, holds a B.A. in philosophy from Western University and a Juris Doctor from Bond University in Australia, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2012. The practice grew out of construction law and now covers civil, commercial, employment, real estate, and estate litigation.

The firm represents clients on both sides of many of these disputes: owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in construction matters, and both employers and employees in workplace disputes. That range gives the firm exposure to how these cases play out under Ontario's Construction Act and under employment law. Senior law clerk Nicole Ferley has worked at the firm since 2010 and has nearly 20 years of litigation experience, handling day-to-day operations, client service, and court document preparation.
