About RealCorp Law

RealCorp Law is a small law firm in Mississauga, Ontario, founded in 2011 by lawyer Shaffiq Dar. The firm concentrates on three areas: real estate transactions for vendors, purchasers, landlords, tenants, lenders and borrowers; corporate and commercial matters, including incorporations, shareholder agreements, and the purchase and sale of businesses; and wills, estate planning, and powers of attorney. RealCorp Law says most of its clients come through referrals, and it serves the Region of Peel and the wider Greater Toronto Area from its Mississauga office.

Dar earned an LL.B. (Honours) from the University of Reading in England in 1996, then a diploma in law from the Kenya School of Law and a call to the bar in Kenya in 1998, heading a banking and insurance litigation practice in Nairobi before immigrating to Canada in 2002. After working in the in-house legal department of a Schedule I bank from 2002 to 2004, Dar articled at a real estate and corporate law firm, was called to the Ontario bar in 2007, and went on to practice in the Financial Institutions and Real Estate group of a Bay Street firm before founding RealCorp Law in 2011. The practice today also includes Shariah compliant financing work. Dar belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Canadian Bar Association, and is fluent in Gujarati and Swahili.
