Simmonds Law is a litigation-focused firm headquartered in Ottawa, with a second office in Toronto at 20 Bay Street. Founded by lawyer Taayo Simmonds, the firm practises across eight areas: civil litigation, estate litigation, wills and estates, corporate law, tax litigation, trademark and intellectual property, family law and mediation, and real estate. Its tax litigation work centres on defending individuals and businesses against Canada Revenue Agency audits, reassessments and allegations of non-compliance, and on negotiating settlements or pursuing appeals when a matter can't be resolved by agreement.
Taayo Simmonds holds a B.A. in Political Science with Honours and a law degree, both from Dalhousie University, and is licensed to practise in Ontario as well as a member of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society. Before founding the firm, Taayo Simmonds served as an advisor to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.
