Ryan Samuel Kirshenblatt

Ryan was called to the Bar in 2006 and is a partner of the Firm. Ryan maintains a diverse and growing law practice.

Ryan graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2005. Since then, Ryan has handled criminal, commercial, civil, insurance, estate, employment and family law matters and enjoys these areas.

In the insurance field, Ryan primarily defends first-party and third-party personal injury claims and represents insurers in intercompany priority and loss transfer disputes. He also handles SIU and property cases. In addition to representing leading insurance companies, Ryan also represents a provincial recreational organization. Ryan is available to mediate cases on request.

In civil and commercial matters, Ryan has helped clients address financial, contract and property disputes. Ryan has a keen understanding of the law of unjust enrichment and its impact on real property disputes between family members and investors alike, particularly in circumstances where parties invest money into property held in the name of another and where litigation arises over transactions that happened many years before.

In family law matters, Ryan helps clients with litigation concerning children, support and property division. He helps clients navigate both court proceedings and other “family justice” procedures including therapeutic intervention, mediation, Office of the Children’s Lawyer investigation and representation, Voice of the Child reports and parenting capacity assessments pursuant to s. 30 of the Children’s Law Reform Act. He can also help with cohabitation/separation agreements to hopefully reduce litigation. Ryan also has unique, and personal, knowledge and perspective about the emerging area of grandparent-parent litigation and he has helped parents preserve their autonomy from those who assert “grandparents rights.”
