About Fox Vanounou LLP

Fox Vanounou LLP is a personal injury law firm based in Toronto, with an office at 2 Sheppard Avenue East, Suite 303, in the Yonge Sheppard Centre near the Sheppard-Yonge subway interchange. The firm was founded by Jamie M. Fox and R. Tally Vanounou, whose names form its title. Fox has practiced exclusively in plaintiff personal injury law since 2002, appearing at every level of court in Ontario as well as before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and the License Appeal Tribunal. Vanounou brings 17 years of experience in civil negligence litigation, centered on brain injuries, concussions, spinal cord injuries, and catastrophic claims. A third lawyer, Faisal Afridi, was called to the Ontario bar in 2022 and has already appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, the License Appeal Tribunal, and the Landlord and Tenant Board.

The firm handles the full range of personal injury claims, including motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, truck, and pedestrian accidents, along with slip and falls, long-term disability denials, and catastrophic and fatal injury claims. It works on a contingency fee basis, so clients don't pay anything upfront, and fees, capped at 30 percent plus HST and disbursements, come out of a settlement or court award only if the claim succeeds. The firm says it can serve clients in eight languages: English, French, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew.

The neighbourhood

Fox Vanounou LLP's office sits inside the Yonge Sheppard Centre, a mixed use complex of retail, office, and residential towers built in 1976 at the corner of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue in North York. The complex was designed for direct access to Sheppard-Yonge station, where the Yonge and Sheppard subway lines meet, so clients travelling from across Toronto and the wider GTA can reach the firm without needing a car. Renovations carried out between 2016 and 2021 updated the retail levels and added residential units to the site, so the corner functions as a busy, everyday hub rather than a purely commercial block.
