The neighbourhood
The office sits on John Street between Queen Street West and Adelaide Street, in the stretch of downtown Toronto that runs through the Entertainment District. That section of John Street is home to the Scotiabank Theatre, the former CityTV studios at CTV Queen Street, and the National Film Board's Mediatheque, and the street continues north into Grange Park and the OCAD University campus. It's a part of downtown built around theatres, restaurants, and office space rather than a courthouse row, and the practice's litigation work is spread across a wider set of Toronto area courthouses rather than any single building nearby.
