About Beaches Legal

Beaches Legal is a general practice firm that Adam Ezer has operated since 2008 from an office on Queen Street East in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto's east end. Ezer was born and raised in Toronto and earned degrees in economics and law from the University of British Columbia. The practice covers wills and estate planning, estate administration and litigation, disputes over money and property, tax matters, corporate services, and minor variance applications for property development.

Before entering the field of law, Ezer worked in the securities industry at Bank of Montreal's Nesbitt Burns offices in Toronto and Vancouver. During Ezer's undergraduate degree, Ezer studied at UC Berkeley as an exchange student, and later returned to Berkeley Law during law school as a Visiting Student Researcher in the Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic. The firm's civil litigation work has reached all levels of court in Ontario, several tribunals, and the Supreme Court of Canada.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits on Queen Street East, the commercial spine of Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood, a strip known for independent specialty shops whose tenants change fairly often. A short walk south leads to Kew Gardens, a park that runs from Queen Street down to the boardwalk along Lake Ontario, with the neighbourhood's sandy waterfront split into the Woodbine, Kew, Scarboro, and Balmy sections.

Side streets off Queen are lined with Victorian, Edwardian, and newer-style houses, and some residents have pursued heritage designations to keep the traditional cottage-like look of their streets. That mix of housing types is the kind of setting that generates both estate planning work and minor variance applications when an owner wants to renovate, sever a lot, or build an addition. Every July, the neighbourhood also hosts the Beaches International Jazz Festival, which draws thousands of visitors to the area, with most performances now held at Woodbine Beach Park.
