About Civil Divorce
Civil Divorce is a small family law practice founded by Victor Chai to help Canadian families through separation and divorce. The firm's office is on Yorkville Avenue in Toronto, and it also uses meeting rooms elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, including North York, Markham and Mississauga, along with rooms in downtown Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond. Chai is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and practices in British Columbia under the National Mobility Agreement of 2002.
Before focusing on family law, Chai worked in corporate law and then as a corporate executive at Manulife Financial, concentrating on private equity transactions. Chai has personal experience with divorce, something the firm says brings empathy to client relationships, alongside a background in Bay Street style corporate work. Civil Divorce describes its approach as diplomacy backed by strength, favouring mediation and negotiated settlement over contentious litigation, though the firm does take cases through the Toronto and Vancouver courts when a negotiated resolution isn't possible.
