Lumen LLP

About Lumen LLP

Lumen LLP is a small corporate and commercial law firm on Bloor Street West in Toronto's Yorkville neighbourhood. David Yun and Christine Fard co-founded the firm to serve small and medium sized businesses, and its work covers the transactions that keep a company running: incorporation and governance, acquisitions and divestitures, commercial contracts, corporate reorganizations, financing, and trademark and copyright registration. Every corporate or restructuring file is reviewed with tax planning in mind, an approach Yun traces back to a placement at the Tax Division of the federal Department of Justice while still a law student.

Yun completed a JD with high honours at Michigan State University College of Law on an academic scholarship. Fard is admitted to the Ontario Bar and the New York State Bar and earned an LLB with First Class Honours (Summa Cum Laude) from the London School of Economics, receiving the Sweet and Maxwell Prize for outstanding performance and the Blackstone Chambers Prize for public law along the way. Before co-founding Lumen, Fard worked across corporate, commercial, tax, and intellectual property law. Yun is fluent in English and Korean, and Fard is fluent in English and Filipino, and conversant in Spanish and French.
