About Fenster Law

Fenster Law LLP is a small firm based in North York, with its office on Sheppard Avenue West near Bathurst Street. It was founded by Alan Fenster, who graduated from McGill Law in 1974, was called to the Ontario Bar in 1976, and still leads the practice today as Managing Partner. The founder focuses on real estate, personal injury, and family law, and also lectures on real estate, wills, and powers of attorney for investors, professionals, and legal organizations. Partner Shelby Zysman, who earned a J.D. from the University of Ottawa in 2017 and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2018, concentrates on residential real estate.

The firm handles Ontario real estate purchases, sales, and refinancing for homes, investment properties, and commercial buildings; family law matters including separation agreements, divorce, and support and property disputes; and wills, powers of attorney, and estate probate. It also runs The Law Shop, a paperless closing service that lets buyers and sellers upload documents to a personal portal, sign closing paperwork through a virtual meeting, and handle deposits and fund transfers electronically instead of attending the office in person.
