About Bobila Walker Law
Bobila Walker Law is a litigation firm headquartered in Toronto's Financial District, at First Canadian Place on King Street West. The name comes from its two named lawyers, Managing Partner Daniel Walker and Partner Maria Bobila, and the practice concentrates on estate, trust and fiduciary litigation alongside civil, commercial and family law disputes. Much of the caseload involves contested wills, passing of accounts, guardianship and power of attorney fights, and disputes where the assets or the parties cross a border.
That cross-border focus is a real specialty rather than a marketing line. Daniel Walker is fluent in German as well as Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian, is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (holding the TEP designation), and regularly advises on German-Canadian succession matters, where Ontario's court-supervised estate administration runs into Germany's system of automatic inheritance. The firm also appears before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Hague Convention child abduction applications, acting for parents on both sides of these cases. Maria Bobila has worked on cross-border creditor claims, including in the Target Canada liquidation. Beyond the Toronto head office, the firm keeps offices in Windsor and Richmond Hill.

The neighbourhood
The firm's head office is in First Canadian Place, the 72 storey office tower at King and Bay Streets that has anchored Toronto's Financial District since it opened in 1975 and was, for decades, the tallest building in Canada. It's a working address in the middle of the city's banking and legal core, which fits a practice built around Superior Court litigation, high value estates and institutional creditor claims. The firm also keeps satellite offices outside the core, in Windsor and in Richmond Hill, for clients who don't need to come downtown.
Frequently asked questions

- Yes. Daniel Walker is fluent in German and advises regularly on German-Canadian succession files, where Germany's automatic inheritance system and Ontario's court-supervised estate administration have to be reconciled.

- In some cases. The firm will consider a contingency fee arrangement for certain estate disputes, such as wrongful exclusion from a will or trust, where it assesses the case as strong enough to take on the financial risk. Not every matter qualifies, and guardianship or power of attorney disputes are generally billed hourly instead.
