About GladyLaw

GladyLaw is a small, single-lawyer private client law practice run by Frederick Glady, working from an office at Yonge Street and Lawrence Avenue in Toronto. The firm sticks to two connected areas: wills, estates and trusts, and business and corporate law, and it works mostly with owner-managers and high net worth individuals on wealth transfer, business succession, and estate administration. A Canadian Lawyer profile of the firm described its practice as largely referral based.

Glady spent close to two decades in a corporate legal role before returning to private practice. Glady joined Thomson Reuters Legal and Tax & Accounting Canada's business in 2000 planning to stay about a year; in Glady's own words to Canadian Lawyer, "it turned into eighteen years." During that stretch Glady developed, managed and marketed legal information products, including Estates & Trusts Source. GladyLaw's about page describes Glady as a former legal entrepreneur and corporate executive of a multi-national corporation, and says the firm works with clients whose family circumstances include conflicting personalities, economic dependency, or disability.

The neighbourhood

GladyLaw's office sits in the tower at Yonge Street and Lawrence Avenue, in Toronto's Bedford Park neighbourhood, a mostly residential, established part of midtown Toronto. The building is a mixed office and retail complex anchored by a Loblaws City Market at that corner, with direct access to Lawrence subway station. Being at a major subway stop puts the office within easy reach for clients travelling from across midtown and north Toronto, which suits a practice that Canadian Lawyer described as largely referral based.
