About Atkinson Law
Atkinson Law is a Toronto law firm handling business and corporate law, real estate transactions, civil litigation, and private lending matters, including mortgage enforcement and power of sale disputes. The firm was founded by Ryan Atkinson, who earned a Bachelor of Science with distinction in Genetics before completing a law degree at the University of Western Ontario and was called to the Ontario bar in 2006. Atkinson Law keeps two Toronto offices: one at First Canadian Place in the Financial District and one on Jane Street in the city's west end.
The firm's lawyers were called to the bar between 2006 and 2024, and its legal team includes advisors and clerks who speak languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Danish, Polish, Russian, Japanese, and French. Atkinson Law also runs a wellness program, offering clients private yoga and meditation sessions alongside their legal work, along with a monthly open mindfulness session at its Jane Street office, a pairing that isn't typical of a business and litigation practice.

The neighbourhood
Atkinson Law's downtown office sits inside First Canadian Place at King and Bay, a 72 storey tower that was Canada's tallest building from its completion in 1975 until 2025. It's the kind of address that suits the firm's business, real estate and lending work, in the middle of the district where those deals get done.
The firm's other office is on Jane Street in Toronto's west end, where it hosts a monthly mindfulness session as part of its wellness program, alongside its regular legal work in business, real estate and litigation matters.
