Virtual appointmentsAbout Epstein Cole LLP
Epstein Cole LLP is a family law firm based in Toronto, at 393 University Avenue. Philip M. Epstein and Kenneth Cole founded it in 1978 as a small litigation firm. As their caseload shifted toward family law, the founders came to see the field as multi-disciplinary, reputation based and central to social justice, and the firm has practised exclusively in that area since. Today it handles asset and property division, child and spousal support, parenting arrangements, domestic contracts, litigation, and professional liability matters.
Epstein Cole also takes on international and multi-jurisdictional cases, including cross-border child mobility and abduction disputes and inter-jurisdictional marriage contracts, and it has built a national and international client base around this end of family law practice. Alongside its litigation work, the firm runs an in-house Dispute Resolution Centre, where lawyers act as mediators and arbitrators instead of going to court. Epstein Cole describes its approach as personal, practical, responsive and solution-focused, mixing negotiation, alternative dispute resolution and litigation depending on what a case needs.
