From the very beginning of his legal journey, Ankush Sondhi has been guided by a deep and unwavering commitment to justice, community, and compassionate advocacy.

His career began in 2013 with Legal Aid Ontario, where he laid the foundation for what would become a distinguished and respected legal practice built on fighting tirelessly for those who need it most. Ankush was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2014 and has since become a trusted and formidable presence in courtrooms across the province.

Ankush has successfully represented clients at every level of court and tribunal in Ontario, including the Landlord and Tenant Board, Immigration and Refugee Board, Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
