About Levy Zavet PC

Levy Zavet PC is a Toronto law firm with several lawyers practising real estate, business and corporate law, wills, estates and tax planning, and litigation from an office on Lesmill Road in North York. Managing partner Jeff Levy earned a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2007, along with an MBA from York University's Schulich School of Business and a CFA charter, and started a solo law practice immediately after being called to the Ontario bar. The small office grew quickly, and a partnership formed not long after became Levy Zavet Professional Corporation. Levy has also taught a course on syndicated mortgages at Osgoode Hall Law School.

The firm's real estate practice runs from routine residential and commercial closings to large development files, including construction financing packages of more than $68 million for a condominium project in Kingston and more than $120 million for one in Kitchener, along with multi-property land assemblies in Toronto and Hamilton. Its lawyers also act for private mortgage lenders and mortgage investment corporations, and represent clients in mortgage enforcement and other commercial litigation. One of the firm's litigators worked in Germany's construction and automobile industries before practising law and speaks fluent German. Levy Zavet bills through value billing and, in some matters, block fee or contingency arrangements instead of standard hourly rates.

The neighbourhood

Levy Zavet's office sits in the Lesmill Office Park, a cluster of light industrial and office buildings in Toronto's Don Mills area bounded roughly by Leslie Street, the East Don River, Don Mills Road and Bond Avenue. Lesmill Road was the first street built there, laid out after North York planners approved developer Wretham Estates Ltd, a company tied to industrialist E.P. Taylor's postwar Don Mills project, to turn about 120 acres of former farmland into an industrial area in 1964. The park still mixes light manufacturing, courier companies and office tenants today, an often overlooked but long running employment district of Don Mills.

Frequently asked questions

Does Levy Zavet only handle real estate closings in Toronto?
No. Along with Toronto closings, the firm's representative work includes construction financing and land deals in cities such as Kingston, Kitchener and Hamilton, so its real estate practice reaches beyond the city.
Can Levy Zavet help with a private mortgage or a mortgage investment corporation (MIC)?
Yes. The firm has lawyers who act for private mortgage lenders and mortgage investment corporations, including on the financing side of condominium and other development deals.
A borrower on my mortgage has defaulted. Can Levy Zavet help enforce it?
Yes. The firm's litigation practice includes mortgage and loan enforcement, foreclosure and power of sale proceedings.
Can Levy Zavet prepare a will and power of attorney?
Yes. The firm offers fixed fee pricing for wills and powers of attorney for simple and moderate estate planning, as part of its wills, estates and tax planning practice.
How does Levy Zavet bill for its work?
The firm says it uses value billing, meaning clients pay for work that actually added value to their file, and in some matters offers block fee or contingency arrangements instead of a standard hourly rate.
Does Levy Zavet offer a free consultation?
Yes. The firm advertises a free consultation and can be reached locally or through its toll free line to schedule one.
