About Sutherland Law

Sutherland Law is a litigation-focused firm based in Woodbridge, a community within Vaughan, Ontario. The firm was established by Justice Sutherland and Rob Y. Moubarak, and Phillip W. Sutherland provided strategic and practical litigation advice at the firm from 1989. The firm has grown into a team of more than a dozen lawyers covering civil litigation, construction, family, criminal, employment, real estate, wills and estates, and business law. Sutherland was called to the Ontario bar in 1989 and later served as a member of the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers. In 2015, the Superior Court of Justice appointed Sutherland to the bench in Newmarket, and the firm continued under Moubarak and the partners who came after.

The firm also covers a couple of practice areas that are less common at a firm its size. It advises athletes, coaches, and entertainment industry clients on contracts and disputes, and it represents property owners facing expropriation by government authorities, taking cases to the Ontario Land Tribunal when needed. Partner Jonathan Frustaglio is licensed to practice in both Ontario and Florida. Moubarak's own practice centers on construction and commercial litigation, and the office sits just off Highway 400 in Woodbridge, within reach of clients from across the wider GTA.

In the community

  • Founding partner Rob Moubarak belongs to the Building Industry and Land Development Association, the Toronto Construction Association, and the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce, alongside the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Advocates' Society.
  • Moubarak mentors newer lawyers entering the profession.
