About Baldwin Sennecke Halman LLP
Baldwin Sennecke Halman LLP is a small law firm working from Victoria Tower at 25 Adelaide Street East in downtown Toronto. Five lawyers practice across corporate and commercial law, securities, real estate, civil litigation, immigration, estates, and employment law, serving a mix of individuals, entrepreneurs, and corporate clients.
Part of the firm's history runs through Thomas C.H. Baldwin, Q.C., who was called to the Ontario Bar in 1970, appointed Queen's Counsel in 1984, and practiced corporate, commercial, and securities law as a partner at Stikeman Elliott until 1993 before continuing that practice at Baldwin Sennecke Halman LLP. Baldwin has since retired. Partner Alexander Sennecke, called to the bar in 1987, built a cross-border practice representing German speaking clients doing business in Ontario and has spoken at 'Doing Business in Canada' seminars organized through the Canadian Embassy and local chambers of commerce. The firm's other partners round out its practice in real estate, litigation, corporate and securities, and employment law, with bar admissions spanning 1987 to 2000.
