With backgrounds at top Bay Street firms, service as Adjudicators and Mediators at Ontario’s leading tribunals, and extensive trial experience as former Crown prosecutors, our litigators offer a combination of insight, skill and judgment.

We’ve represented — and gone up against — some of Canada’s largest public and private institutions in high-stakes disputes worth millions. We know litigation can be stressful, costly and combative. That’s why we approach every file with precision, strategy and empathy.

Our founding lawyers, Sancia Pinto and Farhad Shekib, are no strangers to adversity. Both came to Toronto as refugees with limited resources, driven by a determination to succeed. Through persistence and grit, they became litigators — and the first professionals in their families.

We founded Pinto Shekib LLP to deliver sophisticated, uncompromising advocacy in complex disputes. We combine strategic judgment with decisive action, pursuing negotiated resolutions where appropriate and litigating vigorously when necessary.
