A partner in the Litigation Group at Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall, Aaron Rubinoff, has over 20 years experience providing client advocacy in the areas of intellectual property litigation, employment and labour, international arbitration and commercial litigation. 

Aaron’s work in intellectual property matters includes patents, trademarks, and copyrights.  He provides counsel to employers and employees in matters of collective bargaining, judicial review applications, grievance arbitration, wrongful dismissal, employment contracts, and termination strategies.

Aaron represents clients in complex commercial disputes before tribunal courts, and in domestic and international arbitration. In addition, he has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Federal Court – Trial Division, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.

Your legal issues may be complex, but finding the best representation shouldn’t be. There is no substitute for specialized experience in navigating the complexities of the law. Aaron provides his clients with clarity in understanding their situation and options, and the dedicated representation to successfully resolve their issues.

Respected as an instructor in Trial Advocacy at the University of Ottawa, Aaron has also dedicated time to his community through his work with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and other foundations.

We are proud to have had Aaron with Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall since his call to the Bar in 1987, and as a partner since 1993.  Aaron is the immediate past chairman of the firm's Marketing Committee and is currently a member of the firm's Management Committee.
