About Howard Zweig

Howard Zweig runs a sole practice in North York, Toronto, and has practised law in Toronto and the surrounding area for more than 40 years. A graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School (Toronto) in 1976, Zweig was called to the Ontario Bar in 1978 and has practised law in Ontario continuously and exclusively since then. The practice covers family law (divorce, separation, domestic contracts, custody and access, and support), real estate law (residential and commercial purchases and sales, mortgages, and commercial leases), wills and estates law (wills, powers of attorney, and estate administration), and corporate and commercial law (incorporations, partnerships, and shareholder agreements). The firm also gives general advice on related civil matters such as wrongful dismissal, debt collection, and contract disputes, and refers matters that need civil litigation or court action to a network of litigation lawyers Zweig regularly works with.

As a sole practice, retained files stay with Zweig rather than being handed off to an associate, which the firm describes as a way to stay current on a file's developments throughout a matter. Zweig is supported by an experienced legal assistant, who serves as a second point of contact as a matter progresses. The office is located on Finch Avenue West in North York.

The neighbourhood

The office sits on Finch Avenue West in North York, in a multi-tenant office building known as the Humbold Business Centre near the Allen Expressway and Highway 401, with access to the Yonge-University subway line. It is a straightforward professional-office setting rather than a storefront practice, suited to a sole practitioner serving clients across Toronto and the surrounding area rather than one drawn mainly from the immediate block.
