About Nexus Mediation & Law
Nexus Mediation & Law is a small Toronto based practice that focuses on family law mediation across Ontario, run by lawyer and mediator Matthew Newton. The firm helps separating couples work through parenting schedules and decision making, child and spousal support, property division, and matrimonial home issues, aiming to reach a negotiated agreement without a full court process. Its office is at 3080 Yonge Street in midtown Toronto.
Newton was called to the Ontario bar in 2012 and holds an LL.B. from the University of Alberta and an Honours B.A. from Western University, along with a Certificate in Family Mediation from York University. Before founding Nexus Mediation & Law, Newton practiced family law and mediation at another Toronto firm, where the work included drafting separation agreements and mediation agreements and appearing at trials, appeals, motions, and conferences. That background now feeds a practice built specifically around mediation as a way to resolve family disputes outside of litigation.

By appointmentWho handles what
The neighbourhood
Nexus Mediation & Law's office is on Yonge Street at Lawrence Avenue in the Bedford Park area of midtown Toronto, inside a mixed use building redeveloped with retail on the lower floors and office space above. The building sits right at Lawrence subway station, which matters for a mediation practice that draws clients from across Ontario rather than just the immediate neighbourhood, since it gives people travelling in for a session a straightforward transit option.
