About DH Legal
DH Legal is a civil litigation and corporate law practice founded by David Hwang, a barrister and solicitor licensed to practice in both Ontario and British Columbia. Hwang started the firm in Toronto in 2016. Hwang holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Toronto and an LL.B. from the University of London, and the firm now serves clients across Toronto, Kingston, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Waterloo, and the wider Greater Toronto Area.
Before opening DH Legal, Hwang practiced at a downtown Toronto personal injury firm, handling tort claims and accident benefits, then moved to Eric K. Gillespie Professional Corporation to focus on environmental and municipal law. There, the legal team acted in Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County v Director, Ministry of the Environment, the first renewable energy approval to have been revoked. DH Legal's current work centers on civil litigation, often pursued through alternative dispute resolution before trial, alongside corporate law, secured lending matters such as mortgage enforcement, and risk management services for healthcare providers including liability assessments and policy development.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
DH Legal's office is in the Madison Centre, a 23 storey office tower at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue that went up in the 1980s and remains one of the larger buildings in North York's own business district. It's a multi tenant tower a short walk from the Sheppard Yonge subway station, which matters for a firm whose client base runs from Toronto out to Kingston, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Waterloo rather than staying in one neighbourhood.
