The neighbourhood

AJ Law LLP's office is on Eglinton Avenue East in midtown Toronto, in the same building as the Philippine Consulate General, the Philippine Overseas Labor Office, and the office of the Social Security System, the firm's own history says on its site. The founders learned the space had come open through a friend who leased in the building and decided to set up there, putting the practice inside the building many Filipino-Canadian Torontonians already visit for consular and pension matters. It fits a firm that markets itself specifically to that community and offers consultations in Tagalog as well as English.
