The neighbourhood
The office sits in Meadowvale, a business park area in northwest Mississauga, inside a mirrored glass building at 7111 Syntex Drive that overlooks nearby parks, trails, and conservation land. Meadowvale Sports Park sits across the street, and the setting is more office park than downtown core, a low key base for a practice that mostly travels to court rather than receiving walk in traffic.
