Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits on Dundas Street West near Dufferin Street, in Toronto's Brockton Village, a residential pocket that sits just west of Little Portugal. Little Portugal's main strip, also called Rua Acores, runs along Dundas Street West and has long been the commercial and cultural centre of Toronto's Portuguese Canadian community. That geography lines up with the firm's own history: founder Eduardo A. Marcos, who arrived in Canada from Portugal in 1959, became one of the first lawyers serving that same Portuguese speaking community when the practice opened in 1977.
