AGI Law is an estate, tax and real estate planning firm in Toronto, and it teams up with professionals to help clients build and protect their wealth. Its tax and estate practices take on clients from right across Ontario.
It's a close-knit team led by Ardalan Ghassemi, the firm's founder and principal lawyer. Ghassemi holds a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School, earned in its Tax Curricular Stream, along with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Toronto.

Practice areas
Tax disputes and planning
AGI Law acts for clients in income tax and GST/HST disputes with the CRA over assessments, reassessments and appeals, and it can carry an income tax appeal to the Tax Court. When taxes are already owed, its lawyers negotiate with the tax authorities on collections.
Wills, estates and trusts
The estate group prepares powers of attorney for property and personal care, obtains probate, and helps executors with duties like tax filings, asset distribution and keeping beneficiaries informed. It also takes on will challenges and trust disputes, and advises seniors on incapacity and long-term care planning.
Real estate and lending
On the transactional side, AGI Law acts for residential buyers and sellers and handles preconstruction closings. It also represents lenders and creditors enforcing mortgages, including power of sale proceedings, and advises on HST when property is bought, sold, leased or developed, and on principal residence and capital gains exemptions.
Corporate and shareholder work
Corporate files include incorporations, shareholder agreements with buy-sell terms, and annual general meetings from planning through post-AGM support. AGI Law also handles shareholder and partnership disputes, franchise disputes for franchisees and franchisors, and oppression claims brought for minority shareholders.
Good to know
Wheelchair accessibleHow AGI Law works
Ardalan Ghassemi grew up as a first-generation Canadian and watched parents work their way through an unfamiliar country. Ghassemi's mission at AGI Law is to close that knowledge gap, above all for people from similar backgrounds, and to treat wealth as a conversation between generations rather than a matter of financial know-how alone.
In business disputes, the firm's policy is to look first for a practical settlement through negotiation and mediation. When that won't protect a client's rights, it's ready to litigate.
