About Amicus Law
Amicus Law is a Toronto real estate firm with an office at 1 King Street West and a second address in Ottawa, serving clients across Ontario. Barrister and Solicitor Corrine V. Joseph, a member of the Bar of Ontario since 2017, holds a Juris Doctor and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Ottawa, earned with honors. The firm's primary focus is real estate law, covering purchases, sales, refinancing, and private lending, alongside wills and estates, business law, immigration, and notary services. Joseph works with clients in French, English, Haitian Creole, Spanish, and some Portuguese.
The firm doesn't work from a single storefront; it operates remotely, meeting clients by phone, video, or email rather than in person by default. That approach carries through to its notary and commissioner of oaths work, which includes remote commissioning of affidavits and statutory declarations. Senior Law Clerk Holly Simpson brings more than a decade of real estate law experience gained at both smaller, specialized practices and larger firms, and Community Outreach Director Gyse Martine Jean Louis, whose background is in economics, runs the firm's public education programming, including the bilingual Real Estate RoundTable panel series.

The neighbourhood
Amicus Law's Toronto address, 1 King Street West, sits in the tower built around the 1914 Dominion Bank Building at King and Yonge, a designated heritage property that once held what was described as the city's largest bank vault.
