Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Corman Feiner's office sits inside the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, a cluster of office buildings in Toronto's financial district. The firm's own tower at 120 Adelaide Street West dates to 1966, part of a complex that now totals roughly 1.6 million square feet of office space. The complex connects into the PATH, Toronto's underground pedestrian network, so clients and lawyers can move between meetings downtown without going outside. It's a setting that suits a firm whose litigation work regularly involves banks, insurers, and other institutions headquartered in the same few blocks.
