About Kadish Law Professional Corporation
Kadish Law Professional Corporation is a real estate law firm with its office on Yonge Street in North York, Toronto. The practice handles the legal side of buying, selling, and refinancing property, along with commercial real estate deals and leasing for landlords and tenants, plus related matters such as title transfers, first dealing exemptions, name changes on title, gifts of property, and survivorship applications. Principal lawyer Joel Kadish was called to the Ontario Bar in 1990 and ran the practice as a solo real estate lawyer for years before it grew into a small team.
The firm's second lawyer, Ethan Jonah Pather, was called to the bar in 2023 after completing articles at a mid-size, full-service firm in downtown Toronto and earning a dual Canadian and American law degree through the Dual J.D. Program at the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy. Pather's practice covers residential and commercial real estate transactions for clients across the GTA, from first-time homebuyers to experienced investors. A team of law clerks supports the lawyers on closings, with particular focus on private mortgages and work with builders, private lenders, and financial institutions. Earlier in the practice's history, Kadish taught residential real estate at the Bar Admission Course and spoke on real estate matters for the Law Society of Upper Canada's Continuing Legal Education Program and the Ontario Bar Association.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on Yonge Street in North York City Centre, the stretch of Toronto that runs from just south of Sheppard Avenue north to Finch Avenue. The area grew into a dense corridor of condominium and office towers after the Yonge subway line was extended north to Finch in the 1970s and North York Centre station opened in 1987. It's a fitting setting for a real estate practice: much of the surrounding construction over the past few decades has been exactly the kind of condominium development that generates the purchase, sale, and refinance work the firm handles.
