The firm is headquartered at 439 University Avenue in downtown Toronto and represents businesses based across Canada and internationally, working with companies at every stage from startup through growth and, eventually, exit. Its practice covers contracts, including licensing agreements, services agreements, memorandums of understanding, shareholder agreements and confidentiality agreements, along with transactions such as acquisitions, sales, financings, amalgamations and corporate reorganizations. The firm also takes on governance work, including advice to boards of directors, meeting and resolution management, minute book upkeep and annual corporate maintenance, and offers in house counsel arrangements for companies that want dedicated legal support without hiring a full time lawyer.

Brown has practiced corporate commercial law since 2012, working with clients in the biotechnology, renewable energy and agriculture sectors, among others. Originally from New Brunswick and now based in Toronto, Brown describes the firm's approach as down to earth and practical, built with long term client relationships in mind.

The neighbourhood

A.R.B. Law's office is in a 23 storey building at 439 University Avenue, constructed in 1975 and renovated through the 1990s, in the stretch of University Avenue a short walk from Queen's Park, Toronto City Hall and the University subway line. It's a downtown address rather than a neighbourhood storefront, which suits a practice built around contracts, financings and governance work for companies based across Canada and beyond rather than local walk in clients.
