Virtual appointmentsAbout Construct Legal
Construct Legal is a Toronto law firm built entirely around construction and infrastructure law. It handles construction litigation, construction liens, contract drafting and negotiation, and adjudication under Ontario's Construction Act, for clients across the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario. Founder Faren Bogach began as a commercial litigator, moved into construction and infrastructure work, and became a partner at WeirFoulds LLP, a large Toronto firm, before starting Construct Legal in January 2022. Bogach also co-developed Pay Prompt, an online tool that helps construction companies track deadlines under Ontario's prompt payment rules, which the province brought in during 2019.
The firm works on projects ranging from condominiums and commercial buildings to schools, hospitals, bridges, and mining sites, and says directly that it does not take on home renovation disputes. Rather than setting minimum billable hours, Construct Legal caps how many hours each lawyer can work, a structure it describes as a way to keep the team focused on individual files rather than hitting a target. The office is in First Canadian Place at King and Bay, where a small team of construction lawyers and support staff handle files that run from liens and litigation through to project agreements and adjudication.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Construct Legal's office is in First Canadian Place, at the northwest corner of King and Bay in Toronto's Financial District. At 298 metres, the tower was Canada's tallest building from 1975 until 2025 and sits at the centre of one of the country's densest concentrations of office space. For a firm whose work runs through construction and infrastructure disputes on condo towers, hospitals, schools, and bridges, being downtown among the developers, lenders, and other firms active on those same projects fits the practice, even though the firm's own client base reaches well beyond King and Bay across the GTA and Ontario.
