About Movement Law Group

Movement Law Group is a business law firm based in Toronto's Fashion District, operating, in its own words, as a group of lawyers practising in association. According to the firm's LinkedIn company page, it was founded in 2014. The practice focuses exclusively on business law, working with startups, small businesses, and mid-size companies rather than taking on general litigation or personal legal matters. Its services span incorporation and corporate structuring, shareholder agreements, contracts, mergers and acquisitions, trademarks, and early-stage angel and seed investment work.

The firm was founded by Arsalan Shirazi, who earned a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the Ontario bar in 2013. The firm's website explains the move as a reaction to how large firms can treat clients, saying they can feel like numbers rather than partners, and describes the goal as bringing that same calibre of corporate work to entrepreneurs at a scale that fits a smaller business. Movement Law Group also offers fractional in-house counsel, a retainer arrangement that gives a growing company ongoing legal support without hiring in-house staff.

The neighbourhood

Movement Law Group's office is on Camden Street in Toronto's Fashion District, an area once known as the Garment District for its concentration of textile and clothing factories in the early 1900s. After the industry moved out in the postwar decades, a 1996 zoning change encouraged reinvestment in the area's early twentieth century factory buildings, and many were converted into live/work lofts, studios, and offices. The district today mixes specialty textile, bead, and clothing shops that carry on its garment trade roots with bars, restaurants, and artists and craftspeople, a fitting setting for a firm built around helping small and growing companies get established.
