About Husseini Edward LLP
Mark K. Lathem, Barrister, Solicitor and Notary Public, has practised law in Richmond Hill, Ontario since 1994. Before opening the practice, Lathem spent more than a decade at commercial law firms in Toronto's Financial District, working in commercial real estate and business law. The firm draws on more than 30 years of legal experience and on a family background in engineering, construction, land development, and business, a combination that shapes its focus on real estate and development files rather than a general practice.
The firm's work spans commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial lending and finance, land development, corporate and business law, and wills and estates. It regularly advises on commercial real estate and financing transactions valued from about $5 million to more than $100 million, acting for Canadian financial institutions, developers, corporations, entrepreneurs, and private investors, alongside individual clients buying, selling, or refinancing a home. The office is at 1595 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill, and the firm describes itself as serving Richmond Hill and the wider Greater Toronto Area.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits in a Class A office building at 1595 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill, close to Highway 404, with a bus stop in front of the building. For a practice built around commercial real estate, financing, and land development work, that highway access is useful. It puts the office within reach of developers, lenders, and corporate clients travelling from across York Region and the wider Greater Toronto Area, not only from Richmond Hill itself. It's also a different kind of location than a litigation firm would need. Most of the work here happens at closing tables and in negotiated deals rather than in a courtroom, since the firm's practice areas don't include litigation.
