About Jones & Co.
Jones & Co., the business name of Jones Law Professional Corporation, is a small Toronto law firm at 34 King Street East. It practices intellectual property, franchising, licensing and distribution, competition law, privacy, e-commerce, and international law, and it describes its focus as helping clients through domestic and cross-border transactions. The firm is multi-lingual, with experience in both common law and civil law systems, and it serves clients based across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Principal lawyer Paul Jones is a barrister, solicitor, and trademark agent whose practice covers franchising, licensing, distribution, intellectual property, competition, e-commerce, and privacy law. Jones has studied French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese and reads law in those languages as needed. Jones has also assisted in a precedent setting Supreme Court of Canada case involving a pharmaceutical patent dispute, obtained the first internet liquor licence issued in Canada, advised organizations on privacy compliance in 16 countries, and consulted with the governments of Ontario and the People's Republic of China on franchise legislation.
The rest of the team includes lawyers and a legal consultant whose work centres on intellectual property protection for international brands across China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, alongside franchising matters. That mix fits the firm's client base, which it describes as spanning multiple jurisdictions and legal traditions.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Jones & Co.'s office sits at 34 King Street East, on the stretch of King Street that anchors Toronto's Financial District and borders the city's Old Town. That block of King East is known locally as a cluster of high-end furniture showrooms, and it's within walking distance of the Toronto Stock Exchange, First Canadian Place, Scotia Plaza, and St. Lawrence Market, one of the city's oldest public markets. It's a fitting address for a firm built around international business: the King and Yonge area was already Toronto's original commercial core when fire levelled the district in 1849, and after it was rebuilt the area stayed a hub for banks, brokerages, and corporate head offices.
