About DJC Law Professional Corporation
DJC Law Professional Corporation is a small Toronto law firm run by Daniel J. Cherney, handling business law, real estate law, wills and estates, and bankruptcy and insolvency. Cherney set up the practice after years working at regional and national firms, where multi-million dollar transactions were a regular part of the job, including mergers and acquisitions, financing, business structuring and reorganizations, and corporate governance work for clients ranging from startups and private equity funds to family owned businesses and international companies.
That background carried into a much smaller practice. At DJC Law, clients deal directly with Cherney rather than being routed through associates or junior staff, and the same four areas, business, real estate, wills and estates, and insolvency, cover most of what comes through the door. The office is at 3625 Dufferin Street in Toronto's Clanton Park area, and the firm takes on real estate and business files from across Toronto and the wider GTA.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
DJC Law's office sits in a mid-rise office building at 3625 Dufferin Street, in the Clanton Park area of North York, not far from the Yorkdale Shopping Centre. It's an office district rather than a courthouse strip, which fits a practice built around business, real estate, and estate files rather than courtroom litigation. The firm's reach goes well past that one address, too. Its real estate pages list service across Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, and dozens of other GTA municipalities from Mississauga and Vaughan to Barrie and Hamilton, plus more broadly across Ontario.
