About Jared Will & Associates
Jared Will & Associates is a law firm in downtown Toronto that focuses on refugee and immigration law. Founding lawyer Jared Will is a member of the bar in Ontario, Quebec, and New York State and has practiced Canadian immigration and refugee law since 2006, with a focus on complex matters involving constitutional law, international criminal law, exclusion, inadmissibility, and national security issues. The firm's practice covers refugee claims and a wide range of immigration matters, including constitutional challenges to agreements such as the Safe Third Country Agreement, exclusion cases that draw on international criminal law standards for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and a test case on the constitutionality of Canada's security inadmissibility provisions.
The firm has added associate lawyers over the years since Joshua Blum joined in 2013, and several of them bring their own languages to the practice, including French, Spanish, and Tamil. It also acts as co-counsel, alongside Goldblatt Partners LLP and other counsel, in Kaczor and Serban v. Attorney General of Canada, a class action filed in Ontario Superior Court in August 2023 that challenges the federal Designated Country of Origin policy and seeks $100 million in damages. The firm's office is in the Artscape Youngplace building on Shaw Street, a former public school converted into a commercial condominium in Toronto's Queen West area.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits on Shaw Street inside Artscape Youngplace, a building that started out as a Toronto District School Board public school and closed in 2000. Artscape bought the property from the school board in December 2010 and converted it into a commercial condominium that now holds a mix of galleries, studios, and non-profit organizations rather than a typical office tower. The result is a firm handling refugee and immigration files from a building better known for its arts tenants, in a stretch of Queen West known for that same creative mix.
