The neighbourhood
Dye Law's office is in Whitby, one of the Durham Region municipalities that make up the eastern edge of the Greater Toronto Area, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Whitby functions largely as a commuter suburb, though its southern end serves as the region's economic centre and it is also the seat of Durham Region's government. For a firm built around family law, wills and estates, and real estate work, that mix of growing suburban households and local commerce is exactly the client base the practice describes serving.
