Toronto’s Leading Sexual Assault Defence Firm

Sexual assault cases are among the most serious and complex matters in the Canadian criminal justice system. Recent legislative changes to the Criminal Code of Canada — including Bill C-51’s expanded rape shield provisions — have added significant procedural layers to the admissibility of crucial defence evidence. Without an experienced sexual assault lawyer who understands these evolving requirements, vital evidence can be excluded and an innocent accused can be wrongly convicted.

At Neuberger & Partners LLP, our team has defended sexual assault cases at every level of court in Ontario — from the Ontario Court of Justice through to the Superior Court and the Court of Appeal. Founded in 1993, our Toronto criminal defence firm has spent over 30 years developing the investigative techniques, legal expertise, and trial skills required to achieve results in the most challenging sexual assault cases.

Our lead counsel, Joseph A. Neuberger, is widely regarded by the courts and the criminal defence bar as one of Ontario’s most experienced and skilled sexual assault defence lawyers. With a career spanning more than three decades, Joseph Neuberger has successfully defended well over a thousand clients on sexual assault and related charges, including some of Ontario’s most high-profile cases.
