About Lexpand
Lexpand is a small law firm based in North York, Toronto, founded in 2013 by lawyer Behrouz Amouzgar. It grew from a one person practice into a team that today includes two lawyers along with a law clerk, a licensed paralegal, and administrative staff, according to the firm's own team page. The name blends the Latin word for law, lex, with expansion, reflecting the firm's stated aim of using law to help clients through change in their business and personal affairs. Lexpand practices real estate law, corporate and commercial law, civil and commercial litigation, wills and estates, and immigration law.
The firm runs much of its practice through a client portal that lets people track a file's progress, upload documents, and get notified at each milestone rather than working entirely by email. Real estate closings and will signings can both be completed electronically, from document upload through video conference to e-signing. Amouzgar holds a Juris Doctor and a Certificate of International Business Law from Queen's University and a computer science degree from York University, and worked as a corporate lawyer at Gardiner Roberts LLP before founding Lexpand. Amouzgar also serves some of Toronto's Persian-speaking clients in Farsi, and the wider team together speaks 18 languages, including Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and Urdu.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Lexpand's office is at 255 Duncan Mill Rd, Suite 711, in North York, reachable from Bessarion station on the TTC's Sheppard subway line. The building has underground parking for visitors, but the firm's own site notes that meetings are by appointment only and held electronically. That fits a practice built around remote closings and video conference will signings, where clients upload documents, meet by video, and sign electronically instead of walking in off the street, an arrangement suited to a multilingual team that serves clients from many of Toronto's language communities rather than one neighbourhood alone.
