The neighbourhood
The firm's office at 181 University Avenue sits on the same stretch of downtown Toronto as the Superior Court of Justice courthouse at 361 University Avenue, where serious criminal matters are heard. For a firm built entirely around criminal defence work, being on that corridor puts it close to the courtrooms its cases actually go through.
