Julianna Khou Professional Corporation (JKPC) is a criminal defence firm based in Toronto, founded by lawyer Julianna Khou. Khou is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, where an Honours Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts, both in Political Science, came first, followed by a Master of Science in Gender and Social Policy from the London School of Economics and a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa. Before opening an independent practice in 2015, Khou articled and worked as an associate lawyer at Alan D. Gold Professional Corporation, a Toronto criminal law firm. Since then, Khou has acted as lead counsel on a broad range of criminal defence matters, appearing before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
JKPC's work covers criminal defence spanning assault, bail and bail reviews, drug and firearm offences, extradition, fraud, homicide, sexual assault, impaired driving, theft, robbery, and white collar crime, along with professional discipline, regulatory matters, and notary public services. The firm accepts both private retainers and Legal Aid certificates; fees are billed either hourly or as a block fee set according to the charges and how complex a case is. Khou is fluent in English and French, proficient in Cantonese, and has a working knowledge of Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Spanish.

The neighbourhood
JKPC's office is in the Hullmark Centre, a mixed use tower at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue in North York built in partnership with Tridel. The building has direct interior access to Sheppard-Yonge Station, where the subway's Line 1 (Yonge-University) meets Line 4 (Sheppard). For a firm whose work takes it before courts across Toronto, from the Ontario Court of Justice to the Court of Appeal for Ontario, a subway-connected office makes it straightforward for clients coming from anywhere on the line to get to a meeting without needing a car.
