About David F. Halpenny, Barrister & Solicitor

David F. Halpenny is a sole practitioner who has practiced law in Toronto since joining the Law Society of Ontario in 1989. According to the firm's own site, the early years were spent at a large Bay Street firm, learning the methods used in bigger corporate practices, before the decision to open a solo office instead. That move meant learning directly what individual clients need from a lawyer, rather than working through the layers of a larger firm.

The practice has centered on commercial law and real estate. According to the firm's about page, David F. Halpenny has handled transactions for thousands of clients, as well as numerous trials. The firm's contact page also lists corporate and commercial law, commercial leasing, financing, real estate purchase and sale, landlord and tenant agreements, wills, powers of attorney and estates, and family law matters among the topics the practice has covered. The firm's home page currently states it is not accepting new clients or matters at this time. The stated approach has been to keep overhead lean so costs stay competitive, with the practice describing its focus simply as solving problems for people.
