About Gorham Vandebeek LLP
Gorham Vandebeek is a criminal defence firm named for its two founding partners, Nathan Gorham and Breana Vandebeek. The firm is based in Toronto, Ontario, with a second office in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and it serves clients across southern Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Its lawyers handle criminal trials and appeals, from murder, manslaughter, and sexual assault to robbery, firearms, and drug offences, along with professional discipline and workplace allegations.
Nathan Gorham holds a Doctor of Juridical Science and a Master of Laws from the University of Toronto, in addition to a law degree from Queen's University, and has been appointed King's Counsel. Breana Vandebeek, also a Queen's University law graduate, has argued more than 70 appeals at the Court of Appeal for Ontario and has appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada. Both founding partners teach the law of homicide as adjunct instructors at the University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law, and the firm takes on cases for clients who could not otherwise afford effective representation.
