About Kirk J. Cooper

Kirk Cooper Law is a sole practice in downtown Toronto run by Kirk J. Cooper. Cooper earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of British Columbia, then a Bachelor of Laws from UBC's law school in 1989, and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1991. The practice began with a stint as a contact lawyer at Flemingdon Community Legal Services, and Cooper opened a private practice in 1993, so the firm has served Toronto clients under the Cooper name for more than three decades.

The practice covers real estate, wills and estates, immigration, and business law for individuals and small to medium sized businesses. Real estate work spans the purchase and sale of condominiums, homes, cottages and commercial property, along with leasing, inter spousal transfers and estate property transfers. Immigration matters range from visitor status and work permits to family sponsorship, refugee claims, skilled worker applications, and entrepreneur or investor programs. On the business side, Cooper helps clients choose a structure, incorporate, buy or sell a business, negotiate commercial leases, and plan for succession.

For many years Cooper shared office space with fellow lawyer Paul Willis, until Willis's death in 2014.

The neighbourhood

Kirk Cooper Law's office is on the third floor of 120 Carlton Street, a mixed use tower in Toronto. The building, put up in the mid 1980s, combines a few floors of office condominiums with a dozen floors of residential condos above, a layout that mirrors how much of the surrounding blocks mix commercial and residential use. The office is a short walk from College subway station on the Yonge line, handy for clients coming from across the city for a real estate closing or a wills appointment.
