About Levine Law

Levine Law is a Toronto corporate and financial services firm with an office in the Bay Street corridor near Yorkville. It practices corporate law, including private mergers and acquisitions, director and shareholder governance, and tax driven reorganizations, along with contract law and financial services and fintech law covering payment services, money services business (MSB) registration, commercial lending, and banking relationships. The firm is led by Matthew Levine, a barrister and solicitor who holds a Juris Doctor from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Laws from the University of Toronto, and who is a member of the Canadian Bar Association, the Law Society of Ontario, and the Toronto Jewish Law Society.

The neighbourhood

Levine Law's office is at Bay Street and Yorkville Avenue, in Toronto's Bloor-Yorkville area. The building sits in a business district known for upscale retail and hospitality, a short walk from the Bloor Street shopping strip, and it's close to the Bloor-Yonge subway interchange where both TTC subway lines meet. It's a downtown, business facing address, which fits a firm whose stated clients are entrepreneurs, executives, and investors rather than walk-in members of the public.
