Joshua Samuel Strub

Joshua is a prominent construction lawyer with a unique combination of private practice and in- house experience, underscored by his civil engineering background. This expertise enables him to address complex construction challenges with precision and deliver tailored legal solutions. His technical knowledge, strategic insight, and industry leadership make him a go-to advisor for complex legal issues in construction.

Josh’s practice spans the construction lifecycle, from advice on the best project delivery model; procurement, contract drafting and negotiations; course-of-project advice and claim management; to dispute resolution. While his practice spans all construction verticals, he has particular expertise in large-scale design-build projects, including complex transit infrastructure projects.

Joshua co-founded Margie Strub Construction Law in 2020 and has grown it to be recognized by the Globe and Mail and Statista as one of Canada’s best law firms for construction law. He has also earned accolades from Best Lawyers, Lexpert, Benchmark Litigation, and from Thomson Reuters as a Stand-Out Lawyer. His ability to deliver results has earned him the trust and loyalty of his clients, particularly those managing high-value, technically challenging projects.

Prior to founding his firm, Joshua managed nationwide legal affairs for Canada’s largest track and signal construction provider. It was there that Josh gained a deep understanding and expertise in collaborative contracting (such as Alliance Contracting) and dispute resolution strategies. Before going in-house, Josh worked at a boutique construction litigation firm where he represented clients in large and complex disputes ranging up to $1 billion.

Joshua is also a dedicated educator and speaker, frequently presenting at industry conferences and teaching the Construction Law course he co-founded at Western Law.
