About Afridi & Angell Professional Corporation

Afridi & Angell Professional Corporation looks after private clients from Toronto, with a practice built around private client advisory work, succession and estates, plus residency and tax law. It serves private clients both in Canada and globally.

James Bowden founded the Toronto office and is its Managing Director. Bowden trained and practised for many years both in Ontario and with Afridi & Angell in Dubai, and led the firm's push to open in Toronto, building on its many Canadian ties. Bowden holds an LL.B. from Queen's University (2004) and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Siam University in Thailand (2001).

The Toronto practice is an Ontario professional corporation, licensed to practise law in this province. It shares the Afridi & Angell name and brand with Afridi & Angell Legal Consultants, a partnership licensed in Dubai, yet the two run as independent, autonomous businesses: they aren't a single international partnership, they don't share control or management, and neither may act for the other. The Dubai firm dates back to 1975 and keeps its head office in Dubai, next to the Dubai International Financial Centre.

Practice areas

Private clients, succession and estates

Trusts and estate planning are among James Bowden's sub-specializations. Private clients get estate planning help from advice through to implementation, covering wills, family agreements, trusts and foundations, and international planning opportunities and vehicles.

Residency and tax law

Next to residency and tax law, the Toronto office consults on Canada-UAE opportunities and cross-border legal issues.

The neighbourhood

The office is at 181 University Avenue, the Morningstar DBRS Tower, one of the two buildings that make up Adelaide Place; the other is 150 York Street, and together they form a Class A office complex. The tower stands in Toronto's financial core and links straight into the PATH network, which reaches the nearby Hilton Hotel, the TTC subway and a mix of shops and restaurants. St Andrew subway station is close by, and three levels of underground parking serve both tenants and the public.
