About Marani Law LLP
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Marani Law LLP is a small, family run law firm based in downtown Toronto, practising real estate, immigration, and private lending law. Two co-founding managing partners lead the firm. One heads the real estate and private lending practice and has developed a focus on private investor clients who fund private mortgages in the Greater Toronto Area. The other leads the business immigration practice, working with employers on relocating staff to Canada, from work permits and compliance reviews through to permanent residence.
Private lending is a niche part of the practice: the firm represents both lenders and borrowers, closing transactions that range from tens of thousands of dollars up to five million dollars and beyond, and it has closed urgent private mortgage deals in as little as five hours. On the immigration side, the team includes a lawyer who is a Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialist with close to 30 years of experience across three countries, and another who is licensed to practice in both Ontario and New York. The firm has been named Boutique Law Firm of the Year Canada and has won an International Advisory Experts award.

Who handles what
Offices 2
The neighbourhood
The firm's main office is in a unit at 477 Richmond Street West, in a building that a real estate listing places within Toronto's Fashion District. The district grew up around early 1900s garment warehouses and factories, many of which have since been converted into loft offices, condos, and creative-industry space rather than torn down. A firm that spends much of its real estate practice closing sales of downtown condos and lofts sits, fittingly, in a building shaped by that same conversion of old industrial space into housing stock.
The firm's second office is at 30 St. Patrick Street, another downtown Toronto address. Keeping a second downtown location alongside the Richmond Street office fits a practice built around private mortgage investors and immigration clients drawn from across the Greater Toronto Area rather than a single walk in neighbourhood.
