About Blue Letter Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Blue Letter Law is a small law practice in New Toronto, a neighbourhood in south Etobicoke, on Lake Shore Boulevard West. It's run as a solo practice by Salima Virani, its founder and principal lawyer. The firm covers four core areas: family law, from domestic contracts to applications for separation, parenting issues, equalization, and divorce; residential and commercial real estate, including title transfers, private mortgages, and complex commercial leases; corporate and commercial work such as the purchase or sale of a business, incorporations, franchise reviews, and corporate reorganizations; and wills and estate planning, from simple wills to more complex plans involving family trusts, with probate and estate administration services for executors.

Virani was called to the Ontario Bar and started out as a commercial transactions lawyer at a large national firm before founding this practice. The firm's name and tagline, "Law + Interpretation + STRATEGY = results," trace to a founding philosophy an earlier version of the firm's website once described: that good legal advice comes from knowing the law, interpreting it, and applying the right strategy to a situation. New clients can book a free 15 minute phone call to go over general questions and procedural matters, though the firm is upfront that it doesn't give legal advice on that first call.

The neighbourhood

Blue Letter Law's office is on Lake Shore Boulevard West in New Toronto, a neighbourhood in south Etobicoke that started out as a planned industrial town. It was founded in 1890 by a group of Toronto industrialists who had studied factory towns in Rochester, New York, and it grew around manufacturers like Goodyear Tire and Campbell Soup before it was amalgamated into the Borough of Etobicoke in 1967 and eventually into the city of Toronto. The same street has its own retail history: Loblaws opened its first self-serve grocery store, the original Loblaw Groceteria, at 2879 Lake Shore Boulevard West in 1919. As the neighbourhood's factories closed through the late 20th century, New Toronto shifted toward housing and small local businesses, the kind of setting a small solo practice now serves.
