About Kramer Simaan Dhillon LLP

Kramer Simaan Dhillon LLP is a small litigation firm at 120 Adelaide Street West in downtown Toronto that practises exclusively in civil and commercial litigation. Jeffrey W. Kramer founded the firm after an honours degree in philosophy from the University of Toronto in 1978, where Kramer received the Governor General's Medal, and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1983. Kramer's first year at the bar was spent as a law clerk to the Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario, and the Law Society of Upper Canada certified Kramer as a specialist in civil litigation in 1997.

The firm is now led by partners Micheal Simaan and Amandeep S. Dhillon. Simaan earned a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1997, was called to the Ontario bar in 1999, and articled and later became a partner at a mid-size Toronto firm, working there for 15 years before helping build this practice. Dhillon, called to the bar in 2005, ran Dhillon Litigation, a small civil and commercial litigation practice, before joining. The firm's work covers shareholder and partnership disputes, contract and real estate litigation, construction liens, employment litigation, and civil and commercial fraud claims, and the firm says about half of its cases settle at mediation rather than going to trial.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits at 120 Adelaide Street West, a tower completed in 1966 in the core of the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, a cluster of connected office buildings in Toronto's Financial District. The complex links into the PATH, the city's underground pedestrian network, so people can move between the building and its neighbours without going outside.

That setting fits a firm built entirely around business litigation. Shareholder disputes, franchise disagreements, and commercial fraud claims are the kind of work that plays out among the banks, brokerages, and corporate head offices that surround the block.
