About Bunting Family Law
Bunting Family Law is a Toronto family law and mediation practice that serves clients across Ontario. Its founder, Sydney Bunting, is both a family lawyer and a mediator, and advises and represents people on every kind of family law issue. That includes cohabitation and marriage contracts (prenuptial agreements), separation and divorce, support for children and spouses, and dividing family property, along with parenting time and decision-making responsibility, the terms that replaced custody and access.
Before starting the firm, Sydney Bunting worked only at family law firms in Toronto. Sydney earned a Juris Doctor at Queen's University and, before that, a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction at the University of Alberta, and has had that expertise featured in The Globe and Mail.
Each client's own goals set the approach. Sydney Bunting can shift between negotiation, mediation and litigation as a file requires, and has litigated in the Ontario Court of Justice, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal for Ontario, as well as Alberta's Court of Queen's Bench.
The office is at 545 King St. W in Toronto. Sydney Bunting takes calls and emails directly, and there's also an online contact form.

Reported cases
-
Florovski v. Florovski, 2021 ONCA 606
Sydney Bunting was counsel for the respondent, together with Christina Doris. The court held that the motion judge didn't err in declining to enforce a penalty that looked disproportionate to the degree of non-disclosure, and because the order was interlocutory and not appealable to it, quashed the appeal with costs to the respondent.
Decisions where the firm's lawyers appeared as counsel, from public court records. Past cases don't predict future results.

The neighbourhood
The office address, 545 King St. W, is in Toronto's King West neighbourhood. A City of Toronto heritage report found the property worthy of inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and placed it within the proposed King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District. The commercial building there dates to 1920, from the decades when King-Spadina was Toronto's main industrial district and crowded with warehouses, factories and office blocks. Its classical front stands out for the stone piers along the base and a carved stone cartouche over the north entrance, and the Canadian Kodak Buildings of 1902 and 1904 face it from across the street. Inside, it's a brick-and-beam building with bike parking, and several TTC streetcar routes serve the address.
