About DelZotto, Zorzi LLP

DelZotto, Zorzi LLP is a Toronto law firm founded in 1962 by Elvio DelZotto, who was called to the Ontario bar the same year and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1985. Eleven lawyers now work from the firm's single office on Dufferin Street in Toronto. The practice centers on real estate and land development, condominium law, litigation and dispute resolution, and corporate and commercial law, with smaller practices in employment law and wills and estates. Several lawyers act for developers on condominium and land projects across the GTA and southern Ontario, and the litigation group covers construction, condominium, and commercial lease disputes as well as employment matters.

The firm has a particular depth in condominium law. A senior partner in the real estate department chaired the board of Tarion Warranty Corporation, Ontario's new home warranty program, from 2009 to 2014, and co-authored a book on the Condominium Act, 1998 published jointly by the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Ontario Bar Association. Lawyers at the firm have published articles on real estate and condominium law dating back to 2001 and have taught continuing education programs at Humber College and Osgoode Hall Law School. One of the real estate lawyers has also owned and bred thoroughbred racehorses in Ontario and the United States since 1990, with a related interest in equine law.
