About Davies Howe LLP

Davies Howe LLP is a Toronto law firm that's focused on three areas: land use planning and development, expropriation, and litigation and mediation. The firm has served clients since 1995, and its lawyers regularly appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal, municipal councils, and the courts on behalf of developers, planners, architects, and property and business owners across the province of Ontario. The firm's land development team has been consistently ranked among the top three land development law firms in both the City of Toronto and GTA editions of Novae Res Urbis, an industry publication that tracks municipal planning news.

The firm's expropriation group has represented property and business owners in compensation disputes with expropriating authorities for more than two decades. Davies Howe operates from the 10th floor of an office building on Adelaide Street West in downtown Toronto, where a team of 17 lawyers, a land use planner, and support staff work across the firm's three practice groups. One of the firm's partners spent ten years in an independent land use planning practice and served as in-house counsel to the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing before joining Davies Howe.

In the community

  • One of the firm's partners has served on the Etobicoke Committee of Adjustment, as Chair of the Etobicoke Hydro Commission, on the Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission, and on the board of governors of Kingsway College School in Toronto.
