About Fridmar Professional Corporation

Fridmar Professional Corporation is a small law firm in Concord, in the City of Vaughan's York Region, founded in 2020 by principal lawyer Dan Fridmar. The firm concentrates on construction law, representing owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, engineers and suppliers on contracts, liens, payment disputes and adjudication under Ontario's Construction Act, and it also handles bankruptcy, real estate litigation and general litigation that arises out of construction work. Fridmar holds a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School (2018) and a Certificate in Construction Law from Osgoode Professional Development (2019), and developed litigation and negotiation experience at a mid sized Vaughan law firm before opening the practice.

The firm publishes construction industry legal content through a blog, a video series and a podcast, reflecting its focus on explaining Construction Act deadlines and lien rights in plain terms. Associate lawyer Alexis Dipasquale Qaqish, called to the Bar of Ontario in 2025, holds a dual J.D. from the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy and brings litigation experience from articling in family and criminal law, including drafting affidavits and facta and research on international child abduction matters.

The neighbourhood

Fridmar's office sits in Concord, the industrial district of the City of Vaughan that grew up along Highway 7 and Keele Street after Highway 400 opened in the 1950s. Vaughan's construction and building materials sector is now home to many of Canada's builders, developers and material suppliers, a natural setting for a firm built around construction law.

The office is one stop among several in the Toronto area law firms serve, but its York Region base puts Fridmar close to the contractors, trades and developers whose lien, payment and adjudication disputes make up its practice.
