About Luka Rados Professional Corporation

Luka Rados Professional Corporation is a criminal defence firm based in downtown Toronto, working in association with David G. Bayliss Professional Corporation. The firm represents clients in serious and complex criminal matters, including homicide, sexual offences, gun violence, white-collar crime, drug trafficking, and organized crime, and also takes on cybercrime cases such as SIM swapping, cryptocurrency theft, hacking, and other offences that test how older Criminal Code provisions apply to newer technology. Luka Rados is a member of Legal Aid Ontario's Extremely Serious Matters panel, which covers some of the most serious criminal prosecutions funded through legal aid.

Luka Rados studied law at Queen's University Faculty of Law and, during that time, worked with the Correctional Law Project, representing prisoners at Kingston Penitentiary and other federal institutions. After articling at a Toronto criminal defence firm, Luka Rados joined David G. Bayliss Professional Corporation as an associate for about a decade before opening an independent practice under the Luka Rados Professional Corporation name. The firm continues to work in association with Bayliss and operates from an office on University Avenue in downtown Toronto.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is at 480 University Avenue in downtown Toronto, on the wide, landscaped boulevard that runs through the city's core. University Avenue is also where several of Toronto's hospitals cluster further north, including Toronto General, Mount Sinai, Princess Margaret, and the Hospital for Sick Children, and where the Toronto Courthouse and Osgoode Hall sit further south. It's a corridor built around large institutions rather than a retail strip, and the firm's office sits among the highrise towers along it.
