About Ahlawat Law Professional Corporation

Ahlawat Law Professional Corporation helps individuals, entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses across Ontario with corporate, technology and immigration law, and with commercial litigation. It's a professional corporation licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, and the employers it works with include those hoping to close skills gaps by hiring international talent.

Nishant Ahlawat founded the firm and is its principal lawyer. Licensed as an advocate in India in 2008, Ahlawat also holds a Certificate of Qualification from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada's National Committee on Accreditation, along with a BA LLB (Hons), an LLM and a postgraduate diploma in alternative dispute resolution. Earlier, in New Delhi, Ahlawat was counsel and senior consultant at Paramount Law Consultants, acting in high-stakes disputes and heading legal due diligence on major acquisitions, and built up litigation experience in India along the way.

Ahlawat has been on the founder side of a startup, too. At Ayottaz.com, which Ahlawat founded, that work took in operations and finances as well as product and business development, and Ahlawat came to Canada through the Start-Up Visa program. In Ontario, Ahlawat's practice centres on immigration, especially business immigration, together with corporate and commercial law and privacy law. Clients can work with Ahlawat in English or Hindi.

The office is in Suite 1000 at 10 Four Seasons Place in Etobicoke, and it's open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

How Ahlawat Law Professional Corporation works

In litigation, Ahlawat Law keeps a client's business goals in view, not only the courtroom result. Every matter opens with a look at the documents and the merits of the claim or defence and a conversation about what the client wants and can spend, and where it fits, the firm turns to mediation or arbitration as a faster, cheaper route than a trial. Ahlawat Law commits to regular updates and clear explanations as a case moves along. Litigation is billed at $260 an hour, with the budget discussed at the outset. (Fees as of October 2026.)

The neighbourhood

10 Four Seasons Place is a high-rise in the western part of Etobicoke, with Toronto's international airport and the city centre both a short drive away. Suite 1000, the firm's address, is home to a Regus office centre with accessible facilities, and visitors can park on site or close by.

Frequently asked questions

Can Ahlawat Law take an immigration refusal to the Federal Court of Canada for judicial review?
Ahlawat Law represents clients before the Federal Court of Canada in judicial review of immigration decisions.

Does Ahlawat Law's Canada and India background help with a cross-border dispute?
Ahlawat Law takes cases with parties or assets in other provinces and countries, and its experience in two legal systems, Canada's and India's, informs that cross-border work.

Ahlawat Law is open to talking through alternative fee arrangements for certain matters.
What ID should I bring to have a document notarized at Ahlawat Law?

Does Ahlawat Law act for tenants at the Landlord and Tenant Board, or only landlords?
Ahlawat Law represents residential tenants as well as landlords across Ontario. For tenants, the firm prepares T2 and T6 applications and works to protect their tenancy and their financial interests.
