About Milot Law
Milot Law is a small Toronto tax law firm that Duane R. Milot founded in 2011. Milot was called to the Ontario Bar in 2003, after earning a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2002 and an undergraduate degree from the University of Ottawa in 1999, and spent close to nine years practising at large Bay Street firms before opening the firm. Milot Law practices exclusively in tax law, advising individual and corporate taxpayers in both English and French and representing them through CRA audits and appeals and before the Tax Court of Canada.
The firm's work also covers voluntary disclosures for unfiled returns and unpaid taxes, criminal tax matters, and the tax side of business sales, estate administration, and insolvency. Since 2013, Milot Law has represented Canadians reassessed by the CRA over donations made through the Global Learning Gifting Initiative, using group representation and test case litigation to challenge reassessments spanning the 2004 to 2013 tax years. The firm's lawyers have appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Tax Court of Canada, and the Federal Court of Appeal, and the firm says it serves clients across Canada from its Toronto office.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Milot Law's office is in a high rise tower at 181 University Avenue, Suite 2200, on the stretch of downtown Toronto that runs past Osgoode Hall and the Toronto courthouse, a corridor long associated with the city's legal community. For a firm whose lawyers appear before the Tax Court of Canada and Ontario's courts, working from that part of University Avenue keeps the office close to several of the courts its cases go through.
