About C2 Global Law LLP

C2 Global Law LLP is a small, full service firm based in Toronto, with a second office in Rochester, New York, that has served businesses and individuals on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border since 1995. The firm's three lawyers handle tax law, business and corporate law, director's liability, intellectual property and trademarks, technology law, federal court litigation and appeals, trust and estate law, and immigration matters in both countries.

The neighbourhood

C2 Global Law's Toronto office is on Temperance Street, inside the Financial District, an area roughly bounded by Queen Street West, Yonge Street, Front Street, and University Avenue. Two of Canada's biggest banks moved their head offices into that district in the 1970s, Bank of Montreal in 1975 and Royal Bank of Canada in 1976, and the district has stayed the country's banking and finance hub since. It's a fitting setting for a firm whose Toronto lawyers work mainly in tax, corporate, and cross-border business law.

The firm's other office is in Rochester, New York, a city on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Rather than a second headquarters, it gives the firm's cross-border tax, property, and immigration work a physical foothold on the U.S. side of the same lake its Toronto office sits near.
