Luceo Legal

About Luceo Legal

Luceo Legal is a small commercial litigation firm in downtown Toronto, founded in March 2024 by Breanna Needham, the firm's founder and principal lawyer. Before starting the practice, Needham had spent several years at two of the largest law firms in Canada, a smaller litigation-focused firm, and the Toronto office of an international firm. The Globe and Mail profiled the launch in its Legal Moves column, reporting that the firm's name, Luceo, is a Latin word Needham has described as meaning "clear and evident, to shine and to light the way."

The practice centres on commercial disputes where misconduct is often at issue, including civil fraud, misappropriation of corporate assets, breach of fiduciary duty, and restrictive covenant disputes, along with the internal and independent investigations that often accompany them. Luceo Legal also handles urgent applications such as Anton Piller and Mareva orders, and it takes on freelance litigation and research work for other law firms and in-house legal departments. One of the firm's lawyers, called to the Ontario bar in 2017, brings a particular focus on intellectual property disputes. Most client meetings happen virtually and are arranged by appointment, an approach the firm describes as "a modern approach to legal services."
