About Goodmans LLP

Goodmans LLP is a business law firm based in Toronto, working from a single office in the Bay Adelaide Centre's West Tower on Bay Street. The firm traces its roots to 1917, when it was established in Toronto by David Bertram Goodman, and it has grown into a firm of roughly 200 lawyers who all work out of that one downtown location rather than a network of branch offices.

The practice centers on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, private equity and venture capital, restructuring and insolvency, real estate, tax, and intellectual property litigation, along with banking, environmental, and competition law work. Clients include public and private companies, financial institutions, and investors, both across Canada and internationally, and the firm has represented parties in deals covering technology, energy, healthcare, mining, and entertainment matters.

Goodmans also traces a community tradition back to founding partner Edwin 'Eddie' Goodman, whose civic and charitable involvement the firm says it still tries to live up to. Lawyers at the firm currently sit as directors or trustees on the boards of roughly eighty charitable and community organizations.
