Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is in the Bay Adelaide Centre's East Tower on Adelaide Street West, a 44 storey building completed in 2016 as part of a three tower complex in Toronto's Financial District. The complex connects into the city's underground PATH network, tying it to the bank towers and professional firms that fill the surrounding blocks. It's a fitting address for a practice that has grown from criminal defence into corporate investigations, regulatory work, and private wealth disputes: the companies and institutions that make up much of that newer client base are headquartered within a few blocks of the firm's own door.
