About Mitchell, Bardyn & Zalucky LLP
Mitchell, Bardyn & Zalucky LLP is a full-service law firm at Bloor Street West and Royal York Road in the Kingsway area of Etobicoke, Toronto. The firm describes its roots as dating back more than fifty years and currently lists 14 lawyers on its site. It was founded by Raymond W. Mitchell, Ihor Walter Bardyn, and L. Eugene Zalucky, whose names it still carries; Bardyn and Zalucky remain with the firm today, while Mitchell, called to the bar at Osgoode Hall in 1960, retired at the end of 2011 after more than fifty years in practice.
The firm's practice spans real estate, wills and estates, family law, corporate and commercial matters, employment law, landlord and tenant disputes, and civil, commercial, insurance, and estate litigation. One of its more specific niches is defending realtors and real estate brokers in disciplinary and litigation matters connected to their profession. Several of the firm's lawyers, including two of its founders, have been active for decades in Toronto's Ukrainian Canadian community organizations, and multiple lawyers at the firm speak Ukrainian and Russian in addition to English.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits at the southwest corner of Bloor Street West and Royal York Road, in the Bloor West and Kingsway Village area of Etobicoke. It is less a highway-adjacent office park and more a walkable retail strip, the kind of address where lawyers who work there also tend to live nearby and get involved in local institutions rather than just passing through.
That local involvement shows up directly in the firm's own history: lawyers there have served as directors of the Kingsway Business Improvement Area, the merchants' association for the stretch of Bloor Street the office sits on, and one has served as president of the Lambton Kingsway School Council. Several current and former lawyers at the firm grew up in or settled in the surrounding Bloor West Village and Etobicoke neighbourhoods, which fits a practice built around wills, real estate, and family matters as much as one built around downtown litigation.
