About Brauti Thorning LLP
Brauti Thorning LLP, which does business as BT Legal, is a smaller litigation and corporate law firm in downtown Toronto. Peter Brauti and Peter Thorning, both former federal Crown prosecutors, founded the firm in 2004 as a criminal defence practice, representing professionals facing criminal charges and providing counsel to Ontario police associations. It's grown since then into a full service litigation and corporate firm with more than 40 legal professionals, and Brauti and Thorning still serve as co-managing partners today.
The firm's lawyers work across more than two dozen practice areas, from criminal and civil appeals to family law, personal injury, construction litigation, and police law, where the firm defends officers facing investigations, disciplinary proceedings, or criminal charges tied to their conduct on the job. BT Legal says its lawyers have handled over 10,000 trials, hearings, and arbitrations, and more than 1,000 appeals. In the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in Canada, four of the firm's lawyers were recognized, including both co-managing partners.
