About Aulis Law Firm Professional Corporation
Aulis Law Firm Professional Corporation is a general practice law firm based in North York, in Toronto's north end, with its office on Sheppard Avenue East. The firm is run by Patrick J. Aulis, who was called to the bar in Ontario in 2003 and built a general practice with a strong emphasis on family law. In 2017, the firm shifted that practice away from traditional adversarial litigation and toward a more cooperative approach, including collaborative representation, family mediation, family arbitration and a mediation/arbitration hybrid, tools meant to keep family disputes out of the courtroom where possible.
Beyond family law, the firm handles residential and commercial real estate closings, wills, powers of attorney, and probate and estate administration. Its real estate practice serves clients whose families have worked with the firm and its predecessors for more than forty years. The firm also offers intergenerational conflict mediation, a service developed to help aging clients and their families work through decisions around housing, caregiving and safety together in a structured process.
