About McPhadden Samac Tuovi Haté LLP
McPhadden Samac Tuovi Haté LLP is a small law partnership in Toronto practising civil litigation, business law, wills and estates, and real estate law. The firm organized its work into four groups, each reachable through its own contact address: a civil litigation group covering class actions, personal injury, commercial litigation, medical malpractice, wrongful dismissal, and motor vehicle accidents; a business law group covering incorporations, contracts, securities, corporate governance, and franchising; a wills and estates group handling estate litigation, estate administration, wills, and powers of attorney; and a real estate group handling purchases, financing, leases, and mortgage enforcement.
Records on the firm's own site trace this work back to at least 2008, when it operated under the name McPhadden Samac Tuovi LLP from an office on King Street East. Over the years it commenced proposed class actions for plaintiffs in cases involving the prescription drugs Avandia, Xarelto, and Invokana. By the 2020s, by then using the name McPhadden Samac Tuovi Haté LLP, the firm had lawyers working from a Bay Street office in Toronto's financial district and a second office at King George Square on Jarvis Street.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
One of the firm's Toronto offices was on Bay Street, the corridor that, together with King Street, anchors Canada's financial sector and is used as shorthand for Toronto's Financial District.
The firm's other office was at King George Square, at King and Jarvis Streets. That development incorporated several nineteenth century buildings, including the adjoining heritage property at 61 to 63 Jarvis Street, built in 1860, before the King George Square condominium project around it was completed in 1998.
