About Art of Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Art of Law is a small Toronto law firm founded by lawyer Ardeshir Tahbaz. The office is on the 10th floor of 4711 Yonge Street, in North York, in the Procter and Gamble building at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue. Tahbaz practices civil litigation, family law, wills and estates, and real estate, and worked at other Greater Toronto Area law firms before opening Art of Law. Files handled include breach of contract and wrongful dismissal claims, contested and uncontested divorces, and real estate transactions, whether buying or selling.

Alongside litigation and family law work, Art of Law offers notary, apostille, and authentication services, something many small firms don't handle in house. That covers document preparation for Hague Convention countries as well as the two-step authentication and legalization process that non-Convention countries require. Tahbaz is fluent in English and Farsi, and the firm offers notary public and commissioner-for-oaths services in Farsi, serving Persian-speaking clients in North York and the wider GTA. The firm describes its client base as spanning Ontario rather than just the immediate neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits in the Procter and Gamble building at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, in North York. The address is a short walk from Sheppard-Yonge station, where the TTC's Line 1 and Line 4 subways meet, which suits a firm that says it takes on clients from across Ontario rather than only the immediate area. It's a district of commercial office towers rather than a retail strip or a heritage streetscape.
