About Lex Magnus Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Lex Magnus Law Professional Corporation is a Toronto firm whose name comes from the Latin words for law and great. Its four lawyers cover civil litigation, criminal defence, family law, immigration law, real estate law, and wills and estates. The practice doesn't run from a single office: it splits work across two Toronto locations, listing a Markham Road office in Scarborough as its Toronto Corporate office and a Lawrence Avenue East office as its Toronto Litigation office. The firm also lists offices in Los Angeles, New Delhi, and Ahmedabad, giving its Ontario practice a footprint that reaches into the United States and India.

Suvendu Goswami, a litigation lawyer, was called to the Ontario bar in 1996 and has spent nearly three decades in litigation, arguing matters before the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Court of Canada, and is fluent in English, Hindi, and Bengali. Saidaltaf Patel is a Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialist in Citizenship and Immigration Law. Real estate lawyer Ashish Jobanputra studied law at University College London, then completed accreditation at Osgoode Hall Law School before being called to the Ontario bar in 2019. Khalid Arshad rounds out the team, practicing civil litigation, criminal defence, and family law.

The neighbourhood

The firm's Toronto Corporate office sits at 1585 Markham Road in Toronto's Malvern area of Scarborough. The neighbourhood traces back to 1856, when the Malvern post office opened at the southeast corner of Finch Avenue and Markham Road, and the same stretch of Markham Road today holds a mix of small offices and service businesses, including a UPS Store in the same building as the firm.

The firm's Toronto Litigation office is on Lawrence Avenue East, along the northern edge of Victoria Village, a former North York neighbourhood bounded by the Don Valley to the west and Victoria Park Avenue to the east. It's a quieter, mostly residential part of the city, a contrast to the firm's listed offices in Los Angeles, New Delhi, and Ahmedabad.
