One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.
GLG LLP is a small, full service law firm in downtown Toronto, at 65 Queen Street West in the city's financial and legal district. Three lawyers who had started their careers at larger Toronto firms, David Goldberg, Bhupinder Lamba, and Elie Ghannoum, founded the practice together in 2016. As both barristers and solicitors, the partners handle a file from the first call through to its resolution, so a client doesn't get passed between departments along the way.
The firm groups its work into three areas: business and corporate law, real estate law, and litigation, and it also advises cannabis producers, distributors, and retailers on licensing and regulatory compliance. Ryan Kerr joined in December 2017, starting a career at a small civil litigation firm, and now heads the litigation department. Eric Sudman joined as an associate in 2025, bringing experience as a corporate and tax lawyer at a firm affiliated with a Big Four accounting firm. For a number of businesses, the firm describes its role as acting as de facto in house counsel, handling day to day legal needs alongside larger transactions.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
GLG LLP's office sits at 65 Queen Street West, in the part of downtown Toronto the firm itself describes as the city's financial and legal district, home to many of the larger firms where its own partners trained before starting their own practice. Setting up there let them keep a small firm while working in the same core where their corporate and real estate clients, and the financial institutions that lend to them, are based. That downtown footing also suits a practice that reaches beyond the office itself: the firm's cannabis law clients include startups as well as producers, distributors, and retailers doing business well outside the immediate neighbourhood.
