About Hadri Law

Hadri Law Professional Corporation is a small business law firm based at First Canadian Place in downtown Toronto, with a second location in Burlington. Founded by Nassira El Hadri, the firm has grown to four lawyers who work with entrepreneurs, startups, family businesses, and established corporations on corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, international business transactions, employment law, contract law, corporate tax law, and notary and apostille services.

El Hadri holds an LLM in Canadian Common Law from Osgoode Hall Law School, a Master's in International Business Law from the Universite de Perpignan Via Domitia in France, and an LLB from Rovira i Virgili University in Spain. Before founding Hadri Law, El Hadri worked as a corporate and commercial associate at a mid-size Hamilton firm, and spent more than four and a half years earlier in heavy equipment finance, working on debt recovery files across Canada, including Quebec. That background carries into the firm's practice: its lawyers work with clients in English, French, Spanish, and Catalan, and can prepare documents in more than one language for cross-border matters.

The neighbourhood

The Toronto office sits inside First Canadian Place at 100 King Street West, a 72-storey tower completed in 1975 that was Canada's tallest building for 50 years, until a newer residential tower overtook it in 2025. The complex houses the Bank of Montreal's head office, connects into the underground PATH network, and includes about 120 stores across three floors. For a firm built around corporate, tax, and cross-border deal work, operating out of one of the country's tallest office towers puts it in the middle of Toronto's Financial District, close to the banks and institutions its business clients deal with.

The Burlington location, at 901 Guelph Line, is a flexible workspace run by Workwell. It gives Hadri Law a base for clients in Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, and the rest of the Halton region without a full standalone branch there. The firm's own materials describe Toronto as its main office and Burlington as a second location.

Frequently asked questions

What areas of business law does Hadri Law handle?
The firm practises corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, international business law, contract law, employment law, corporate tax law, and notary and apostille services, working with entrepreneurs, startups, family businesses, and established corporations.
Can Hadri Law help me incorporate a business in Ontario?
Yes. The firm handles incorporations and can advise on choosing between federal (CBCA) and provincial (OBCA) incorporation. Its FAQ page notes that federal incorporation protects a business name across Canada, while provincial incorporation is simpler for an Ontario-only business, and that Ontario removed its Canadian-resident director requirement for OBCA corporations in 2021.
What languages can I get legal help in at Hadri Law?
English, French, Spanish, and Catalan. The firm's FAQ page notes that documents can often be prepared in more than one language by the same lawyer, which can help avoid translation delays on cross-border files.
What happens during Hadri Law's free consultation?
According to the firm's FAQ page, the free initial consultation is a 20 to 30 minute call to understand the situation, flag the main legal questions, and give a fee estimate. It doesn't create a lawyer-client relationship.
Does Hadri Law work with clients outside Toronto, like Burlington, Oakville, or Hamilton?
Yes. Along with its Toronto and Burlington offices, the firm lists Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Kitchener, Niagara, Vaughan, and Markham as service areas.
Can Hadri Law help a foreign company expand into Ontario?
Yes. Its FAQ page outlines three common routes: incorporating a Canadian subsidiary, registering as an extra-provincial corporation, or operating through a branch, with the right choice depending on factors like tax treaty relief and withholding tax exposure.
