About Hodgson Russ LLP

Hodgson Russ LLP is an Am Law 200 firm with more than 230 attorneys and over 250 support staff, headquartered in Buffalo, New York, with additional U.S. offices along the East Coast and one office in Toronto. The firm traces its roots to 1817, making it one of the oldest law firms in the United States. Two of its predecessor firms once employed lawyers who went on to become U.S. presidents: Millard Fillmore, who joined in 1834 and later served as the 13th president, and Grover Cleveland, who began as a law clerk there in 1855 before becoming the 22nd president.

The Toronto office opened in Mississauga in 1989 and moved to Toronto's Financial District in 1999, where it remains. It's one of only a few Toronto firms devoted entirely to U.S. legal work for Canadian clients, and its practice doesn't extend to Canadian law. Lawyers there advise on cross border tax, trusts and estates, immigration, business, real estate, and litigation matters, helping Canadian businesses and individuals navigate American legal and tax questions while working from Ontario as licensed U.S. attorneys.

In the community

  • The Toronto office is a long standing supporter of the Shaw Festival Theatre, Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, along with other organizations across the greater Toronto and southern Ontario area.
  • Firm wide, Hodgson Russ attorneys and staff serve on the boards of more than 100 organizations spanning healthcare, education, arts, and civic life, and the firm provides financial support to more than 250 organizations.
