About Naymark LLP

It became Naymark LLP in February 2026, when Myriam Seers joined as partner and Cesar Persand joined as senior associate, an expansion that both Law360 and Global Arbitration Review covered.

The team is built around judicial clerkships. Lawyers there have clerked at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Supreme Court of Canada, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, and the Ontario Divisional Court, and several practiced at Bay Street litigation firms before joining. One partner focuses on cross-border and international arbitration, is the immediate past chair of the ICC Canada Arbitration Committee, and works in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Another spent time as litigation counsel for the Ontario Securities Commission before moving into private practice.

The neighbourhood

Naymark LLP's office is on Duncan Street, in Toronto's Wellington Place area of the Entertainment District. The building at 30 Duncan Street dates to 1926 and is listed on Toronto's heritage register, a mid rise commercial structure from the neighbourhood's early twentieth century development. It's a fitting fit for a small litigation firm: an older mid rise building rather than a glass tower, tucked among the district's mix of converted warehouses and newer commercial space just west of the downtown core.
