About Gardiner Roberts LLP
Gardiner Roberts LLP is a full-service law firm with the dexterity of a mid sized practice, based in downtown Toronto. Its office is on the 36th floor of the Bay Adelaide Centre's East Tower at 22 Adelaide Street West, in the Financial District. The firm handles corporate and commercial law, commercial real estate, litigation, tax and estate planning, employment, insolvency, and intellectual property for a diversified client base.
The firm traces its history to 1913, when H. Fred Parkinson articled at a Toronto firm and became a partner two years later. Parkinson's brother Harry later joined with Frederick G. Gardiner to form Parkinson and Gardiner, and the name changed again as partners Harry Willis and Harry D. Roberts joined the practice. Gardiner Roberts became the firm's name in 1967. One of the early partners, Fred Gardiner, served nine years as Chairman of the newly formed Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto starting in 1953. The firm merged with Farano, Green in 1999, adding tax law to its commercial practice.
Gardiner Roberts belongs to MSI Global Alliance, a network of independent law and accounting firms in more than 100 countries, and describes itself as choosing to stay mid sized and Canadian owned rather than grow for growth's sake.
