About Albatross Law

Albatross Law is a Toronto civil litigation firm focused on business disputes, professional regulation, and employment law.

The firm's site says Mishra brings over seven years of that experience to its commercial and regulatory work, and the commercial litigation practice covers breach of contract, shareholder and partnership disputes, corporate oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and franchise disputes.

Albatross Law also represents professionals facing regulatory complaints and investigations, including matters before CPAO, CPAB, and CPSO, hospital investigations, and appeals to HPARB, along with discipline hearings and judicial reviews. On the employment side, the firm advises on wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance package negotiation, temporary layoffs, and discrimination and harassment complaints.

The neighbourhood

Albatross Law's office is at 545 King Street West, within Toronto's Fashion District, an area roughly bounded by Bathurst Street to the west, Spadina Avenue to the east, Queen Street West to the north, and Front Street to the south. The district earned its name from the garment and textile factories and warehouses built there in the early twentieth century to take advantage of nearby rail and shipping access. Since the late 1980s, many of those warehouses have been converted into offices, condominiums, restaurants, and bars.
