About ME Law Professional Corporation

ME Law Professional Corporation is a litigation focused firm based on Bloor Street West in Toronto's Yorkville area, with a second office in Vancouver. It was established in 2019 by principal lawyer Mayssia (May) Elajami, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2016 and to the British Columbia bar in 2024 and holds a law degree from the University of Sussex in the UK. The practice does not handle transactions or general legal work; it takes on disputes that are already underway, or close to it.

The team's caseload runs across commercial and shareholder disputes, real estate litigation, estate and will challenges, financial markets and derivatives disputes, insolvency matters, and domestic and international arbitration. A Thomson Reuters case study on the firm's use of legal research technology describes it as a ten person practice that relies on tools such as Westlaw Edge Canada and CoCounsel to handle research and routine drafting, so lawyers can spend more of their time on case strategy. The Vancouver office followed in 2024, giving the firm lawyers licensed on both coasts while the day to day work stays centred in Toronto.

The neighbourhood

The Toronto office is on Bloor Street West in Yorkville, a stretch known more for its shops and professional office towers than for any courts. The firm's own contact page says the St. George, Bay, Museum, and Yonge/Bloor subway stations are each within a two to five minute walk, so clients coming from elsewhere in the GTA can reach the office without driving downtown, and there is Green P parking behind the building for those who do.

The Vancouver address is a second office rather than the firm's base. It was added in 2024 once the firm's principal picked up a British Columbia licence, giving the practice a West Coast presence while its main work stays in Toronto.

Frequently asked questions

Does ME Law handle real estate transactions like purchases and sales?
No. The firm is litigation only and does not advise on transactions or offer general legal services. Its real estate work is disputes, such as mortgage enforcement, real estate fraud claims, and lease or tenancy conflicts.
A co-owner of my property won't agree to sell. Can ME Law help?
This is the kind of dispute the firm handles. Its own materials cover partition and sale claims, the court process used to force a sale when co-owners can't agree.
Can ME Law challenge or defend a will?
Yes. According to the firm's FAQ page, if you were excluded or treated unfairly and there is evidence of undue influence, lack of capacity, or another legal defect, you may be able to challenge a will in court.
I'm in a dispute with my business partner or a fellow shareholder. Does ME Law take these cases?
Yes, shareholder and partnership disputes are one of the firm's core practice areas, including minority shareholder rights matters.
How fast can I actually get in front of a lawyer?
The firm's FAQ page says that in most cases it can schedule a consultation within 24 to 48 hours after the initial intake and conflict check, and that consultations can be done in person or remotely.
Does ME Law have offices outside Toronto?
Yes. Alongside its Yorkville office in Toronto, the firm has a second office in Vancouver, opened in 2024 after its principal was called to the British Columbia bar.
