Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on Yonge Street in the Yonge and St. Clair area of midtown Toronto. The local business improvement association describes the district as a mix of office and professional space with restaurants, shops, and cultural programming. It's a fitting base for a two lawyer practice built mainly on individual, small business, and referral clients rather than a large downtown office tower.
