Avantis Law

Frequently asked questions

Can Avantis Law handle a home purchase or sale in the Greater Toronto Area?

Yes. The firm's real estate practice covers residential purchase and sale, mortgage refinancing, and closings for newly built homes and condos, and it describes its service area as running across the Golden Horseshoe, from Toronto and Mississauga to Hamilton, Oakville, Newmarket, and Aurora.

Does Avantis Law help sponsor a family member's immigration application?

Yes. The firm's immigration practice covers Express Entry and family sponsorship applications, alongside study permit work for students entering secondary, undergraduate, or graduate programs in Canada.

Is Avantis Law licensed to practice outside Ontario?

Yes. Principal lawyer Kaveh Behyar was called to the bar in Ontario in 2014 and in British Columbia in 2019, so the firm can act for clients in both provinces.

Does Avantis Law take on landlord and tenant disputes?

Yes. The firm advises both landlords and tenants on residential and commercial tenancy agreements and represents clients when those disputes end up in a legal proceeding.

Will someone from the firm meet me instead of my having to visit the office?

For real estate files, yes. Avantis Law offers to meet clients at their own home or workplace for signings and closings rather than requiring a trip to the North York office.

Does Avantis Law advise on cannabis licensing?

Yes. The firm advises on medical and recreational cannabis matters, including cultivation, processing, quality control, and retail licensing, drawing on the founder's earlier work representing licensed producer clients.
