John Loukidelis

John restricts his practice to income tax law. He provides tax advice to business owners, accountants and other lawyers. John’s Tax Court experience includes dealing with complex tax litigation on behalf of public and private corporations.

John has almost three decades of tax law experience gained at some of Canada’s premiere law firms and a national chartered accounting firm. With that experience, John provides understandable, workable advice, not theoretical or academic counsel that can bog down the business process.

John attended Trinity College at the University of Toronto, where he obtained a B.A. with Honours in history and philosophy.

He is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Canadian Tax Foundation, the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association and the Hamilton Law Association.
