About Burshtein Law

Burshtein Law is a solo Toronto practice run by founding lawyer Jonathan Burshtein, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2010. Burshtein holds a Juris Doctor from Queen's University (2010), a Master of Arts in Public Administration from Queen's University (2006), and an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from York University (2005). The firm's work covers business and corporate law, contract drafting, technology and privacy matters, and wills and estates.

On the business side, the firm helps with incorporations, partnerships, share and asset purchases and sales, joint ventures, corporate governance, and estate freezes and family trusts used in succession planning. Its contract work spans shareholder, partnership, joint venture, employment, licensing, and distribution agreements, along with technology terms of use and privacy policies. The wills and estates practice covers wills, powers of attorney, estate administration, and estate tax planning. In 2022 Burshtein launched Groove Law, an online platform that lets startups request and manage lawyer-prepared legal documents. The firm quotes a fixed fee after an initial consultation and offers a free 15-minute phone consultation.

The neighbourhood

Burshtein Law's office is Suite 1600 in the RioCan Yonge Eglinton Centre, at Yonge and Eglinton in midtown Toronto. The entrance is near the Aroma restaurant inside the complex, and the building sits directly across the street from the TTC's Eglinton subway station on the Yonge line, so clients arriving by subway have a short walk either way. For a practice built around startups and small business owners who often need a quick meeting between other appointments, that transit access and the nearby Green P parking lots on Eglinton Avenue East and Roehampton Avenue make the office easy to reach without much detour.
