The neighbourhood

The firm's office is on University Avenue in downtown Toronto, a wide boulevard that runs from Front Street to College Street and is known as a hub for the city's judiciary. The Toronto Courthouse, a branch of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that handles criminal trials, is at 361 University Avenue, and Osgoode Hall is also a landmark on the same stretch of University Avenue. For a firm built around criminal, regulatory, and professional discipline defence, an office on that stretch of University Avenue puts it close to many of the courts and tribunals where its lawyers appear.
