David Farace

David is one of the go-to people at Devry Smith Frank LLP for all things construction law and commercial litigation. His practice spans real estate disputes, shareholder clashes, and construction-related battles. Whether it's hammering out construction contracts or navigating thorny legal showdowns, David knows his way around the industry.

He’s been in the trenches of Ontario's legal system, with wins at the Superior Court, Divisional Court, Small Claims, and even arbitration panels. If it’s under the Construction Act, chances are David’s seen it—and probably nailed it.

Before landing at DSF, he worked as legal counsel for one of Canada’s major construction heavyweights and sharpened his skills at a top Toronto firm. This mix of big-league experience and real-world know-how lets him cut through the noise and find practical solutions that actually work for his clients. Public projects, private builds, infrastructure, or residential developments—he’s worked with all the major players, from contractors to consultants.

When he’s not deep into a case or drafting airtight contracts, you’ll find him unwinding with his family, hitting the links, playing hockey, or planning his next travel adventure.

David Farace—construction law pro, courtroom strategist, and the kind of guy you want in your corner when the stakes are high.
