Virtual appointmentsAbout D. Nashid, Barrister & Solicitor
D. Nashid, Barrister & Solicitor is a solo Toronto practice run by lawyer Daniel Nashid. The practice focuses on business law for small and medium sized businesses, including incorporations, partnerships, professional corporations, and shareholder agreements, alongside intellectual property work the firm calls 360 degree brand protection, covering trademark registration, online counterfeiting, and cyber squatter disputes. The practice also handles cannabis and medicinal marijuana regulatory matters, and immigration and refugee law, including claims from people fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group such as the LGBTQ+ community, or political opinion.
Daniel Nashid has a background in mechanical engineering before moving into law, a discipline the firm's site says brings thoughtful examination of a problem and analytical, creative problem solving to legal files. Nashid articled at a busy uptown litigation and real estate practice, then completed a secondment at a medicinal marijuana specialty firm, studying and advising licence applicants under the federal Marihuana for Medicinal Purposes Regulations before the regime shifted to the Cannabis Act on October 17, 2018. The firm markets itself with the line 'Bay Street service at Main Street prices,' positioning it as an alternative to larger downtown firms for founders and creative professionals.

The neighbourhood
D. Nashid, Barrister & Solicitor markets itself with the line 'Bay Street service at Main Street prices,' contrasting the scale and polish associated with Toronto's large downtown law firms with the accessible, community style pricing the phrase suggests. The line positions the practice as an alternative for small business owners, founders, and individual clients rather than institutional ones.
That positioning fits the client base the firm describes, small and medium sized businesses and creative professionals who need incorporation, brand protection, or immigration help without the scale of a full service downtown firm.
