About Check Law

Check Law is a sole practitioner firm in Toronto's financial district, run by lawyer Azin Zanganeh. Zanganeh holds a J.D. from the University of Windsor and an Honours B.A. from York University, and is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and the Family Law Association. The practice covers two main areas: family law and business and corporate law.

On the family law side, the firm handles separation and divorce, domestic contracts such as marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, parenting arrangements, spousal and child support, and equalization of net family property, including high net worth divorces that involve business valuation. On the corporate side, it advises on choosing a business structure, incorporation and restructuring, contract drafting, shareholder disputes, and ongoing counsel for small business owners and entrepreneurs. The firm describes its approach with a chess metaphor, calling itself a practice built on strategy and the steady accumulation of moves rather than a quick win, and it says clients aren't burdened with excessive bills for routine phone calls or emails.

Check Law offers both virtual and in-person meetings from its King Street West office, and its site publishes a series of articles on family and business law topics in Ontario, including how child support is calculated, how net family property is equalized, and why children shouldn't be drawn into a separation.

The neighbourhood

Check Law's office is in the east tower of the Sun Life Centre at King Street West and University Avenue, a stainless steel and glass building completed in 1984 that served as Sun Life Financial's Canadian head office until the company moved to One York in 2017. The tower is connected to Toronto's underground PATH network and to St. Andrew subway station, so clients coming from across the city can reach it without going outside.

The blocks around King and University are dense with bank towers, law firms, and other professional services offices, the kind of setting that fits a practice built around incorporations, contracts, and shareholder disputes for business clients. Ontario's Superior Court of Justice on University Avenue is within walking distance, which is useful for a firm that also handles family and corporate litigation.
