The neighbourhood

The Toronto office is on Adelaide Street West, in a building that started out as a garment factory. Its high concrete ceilings still give the space an industrial loft feel, a contrast to the courtroom work handled inside.

The Ottawa office is in the tower at 222 Queen Street, at Bank and Queen in the downtown core. That site was once home to the Capitol Theatre, a 1920s movie palace, before the current building replaced it in the early 1970s and later held a small cinema of its own until the early 1990s, when it was converted to office space.
