Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is in Suite 2000 at 393 University Avenue, in the same building that houses the Superior Court of Justice's civil courthouse in Toronto, where motions, case conferences, pre-trials, and long motions are heard. For a lawyer whose wrongful dismissal and employment litigation runs through that same civil court, the office is a short elevator ride from where much of its own work is argued. The stretch of University Avenue running north from Queen Street is Toronto's court and legal district, and the address also sits close to the Bay Street office towers where many of the firm's corporate and individual clients work.
