Law Office of Allan Strader

About Law Office of Allan Strader

The Law Office of Allan Strader is a sole-practitioner firm in downtown Toronto, working out of an office at 49 St. Nicholas Street near Yonge and Bloor. The practice currently focuses on real estate law and wills and estate planning. Strader attended law school at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and has practised law in Toronto for many years. Strader grew up in a small town on the St. Lawrence River in eastern Ontario, and the office itself keeps a small-scale feel: it's an older, two-storey brick row house rather than a tower, tucked on a side street just off the busy Yonge and Bloor corridor.

On the real estate side, the firm has represented clients in residential and commercial purchase and sale transactions, mortgages, and leases, with a law clerk who has worked alongside Strader for decades. The wills and estate planning practice covers drafting wills and powers of attorney and helping settle estates, matters the firm has described as easy to put off given the tax issues, blended families, and other complications that can come with them. Over the years, the practice has also handled family law work such as separation agreements, custody, and support, typically aiming to resolve disputes by negotiated agreement rather than in court.
