About ChanX Legal

ChanX Legal is a solo Toronto litigation practice run by Fiona Chan, who was called to the Ontario Bar in 2019. Chan's practice covers commercial litigation, criminal and white collar defence, investigations, and securities litigation, advising individuals, professionals, and businesses in matters where legal, commercial, and reputational risk overlap. Before Toronto, Chan spent eight years as a barrister in Hong Kong starting in 2010, defending clients in serious criminal matters, prosecuting on behalf of the Department of Justice, and litigating civil and commercial disputes.

Chan holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts and an MBA from the University of Toronto, plus a Global Professional Master of Laws in Business Law from the same school. Earlier degrees include a Master of Laws in Human Rights from the University of Hong Kong and a Juris Doctor from City University of Hong Kong. Chan remains called to the bar in Hong Kong, though not in active practice there, and works in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The practice is based at Law Chambers, a shared office building for independent lawyers on University Avenue in downtown Toronto.

The neighbourhood

ChanX Legal's office sits on University Avenue in downtown Toronto, inside Law Chambers, a building set up as shared office space for independent lawyers rather than a traditional multi-partner firm. That arrangement suits a solo litigation practice: private office and support infrastructure without the overhead of a larger firm.

University Avenue is also home to the Superior Court of Justice's 361 University Avenue courthouse, which handles criminal and family matters for the Toronto region. For a practice built around criminal, white collar, and commercial litigation, that puts the office within the same downtown court corridor where Chan appears for clients.
