Fogler, Rubinoff LLP was proud to host Pro Bono Ontario for another successful Sponsor Day in support of the Free Legal Advice Hotline.

Building on the momentum of two impactful sponsor days in 2025, this event brought together an outstanding group of volunteer lawyers, including several 2025 calls, who generously contributed their time and expertise to assist low-income Ontarians facing legal challenges.

It was inspiring to see new and experienced lawyers volunteering side by side with care, focus, and a shared commitment to expanding access to justice across Ontario.

We extend our gratitude to Myriah Graves, Ruth Durgy, and our firm’s leadership team for their continued support of Pro Bono Ontario and for making these sponsor days possible. This collaboration reflects our ongoing dedication to giving back to the communities we serve.

Congratulations to Aida Nabavi on receiving the 2025 Volunteer Service Award from the Province of Ontario. Through patience, empathy, and unwavering dedication, she has made a lasting impact on the lives she’s touched and exemplifies the spirit of service that strengthens our communities.

Year after year, our team of lawyers and students proudly volunteer with The Law Society Foundation’s ‘Lawyers Feed the Hungry’ program, serving meals to those in need. This vital initiative has operated from Osgoode Hall’s cafeteria since the early 2000s and provides over 1,200 hot meals weekly to Toronto residents. We’re committed to supporting such meaningful community programs that make a positive difference in the lives of fellow Torontonians.

Fogler, Rubinoff LLP recently hosted another impactful Sponsor Day in support of Pro Bono Ontario‘s Free Legal Advice Hotline.

The event brought together dedicated legal professionals from our firm who volunteered their expertise to assist low-income Ontarians facing legal challenges.

We’re proud to recognize Kate Babony, who participated as a first-time volunteer, along with Emily Milana and Diana Saturno for their generous contribution of time and expertise.

This collaboration represents an important step in expanding access to justice across Ontario and highlights our firm’s ongoing commitment to giving back to our communities.

At our 2025 FR Pride Event, we were privileged to learn from Dr. Adrienne Rosen‘s extraordinary life of purpose and achievement. Her presentation resonated deeply across our organization, highlighting how principled leadership can drive both business success and social progress. From her early advocacy as part of the historic Brunswick Four to pioneering medical logistics solutions, Dr. Rosen exemplifies the values we aspire to uphold.

We’re grateful to Dr. Rosen for her authenticity in sharing her journey, including the important role her wife Myra White has played as her life partner and business collaborator. Special thanks to Myriah Graves for facilitating this meaningful gathering that reinforces our commitment to inclusive leadership and community building.

We had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary International Women’s Day event at our firm, organized by Tea Obradovic and Hailey Abramsky, Chairs of our Women@Foglers Committee.

Our guest speaker, Jordana Goldlist shared her remarkable journey from facing adversity in her youth to becoming a renowned criminal defence lawyer, TEDx speaker, and podcast host. Her powerful story of transformation moved everyone in the room and embodied this year’s International Women’s Day spirit.

The impact of the event extended beyond inspiration. Together, with Kits for a Cause, we assembled 96 welcome kits for Covenant House Toronto and Sistering with heartfelt messages of hope. These kits will directly support women and youth in need throughout our community.

Special thanks to Jordana for her candid, moving presentation, and to Tea and Hailey for orchestrating such a meaningful event. Your dedication to empowering others and giving back to the community exemplifies the change we wish to see in the world.

Our Associates spent the afternoon volunteering with Pro Bono Ontario‘s Free Legal Advice Hotline, providing important services to individuals who have essential legal needs but cannot afford a lawyer. By volunteering their time and answering calls on on the legal advice hotline, our firm was able to help make a difference in ensuring Ontarians can access the legal help they need!

Our Fogler Rubinoff family strongly condemns the unprecedented, barbaric attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel.   

While we in Canada live with the privilege of having the expectation of a peaceful existence, the Middle East presents a much different matrix of facts which make peaceful co-existence idealistic when the government in Gaza is a terrorist group that denies Israel’s right to exist. It is important to speak out against organizations like Hamas who wish to annihilate the Jewish people.  

We support Israel and all its people.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the innocent victims of this tragedy. We specifically pray for the safe return of the kidnapped civilian bystanders.  

Last week, Fogler, Rubinoff’s annual meal sponsorship to Lawyers Feed the Hungry, provided 250 people with a much-needed warm meal. Although we were unable to be there in person, we were glad to support this important program in our community.
