Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The office is in Hullmark Centre at 4789 Yonge Street, on the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, a mixed use building of offices, shops, and condominiums built above the Sheppard-Yonge subway interchange, where the TTC's Line 1 and Line 4 trains meet. The tower sits in what's now called North York City Centre, the strip of Yonge Street that grew into North York's downtown after the former city hall, now the North York Civic Centre, opened a few blocks north in 1979. It's a dense, transit-first stretch of Toronto rather than a quiet legal row, which fits a defence practice that draws clients from across the GTA and beyond one neighbourhood.
