About Kamalie Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Kamalie Law is a small litigation firm based in North York, on the north side of Toronto, devoted exclusively to civil and commercial litigation rather than general practice. Shayan Kamalie founded the firm after practising at McCarthy Tetrault LLP, one of Canada's national firms, aiming to offer the same calibre of representation within a smaller, more personal setting. The firm's practice spans eleven areas: contract disputes, debt and loan recovery, real estate disputes, construction disputes, fraud and asset recovery, injunctions and motions, shareholder disputes, partnership disputes, defamation, non-competition agreements, and non-solicitation agreements. Clients are mostly individuals and small to medium-sized businesses working through contractual, financial, or ownership disputes rather than large corporations.

Before practising law, Shayan Kamalie served in the Canadian Armed Forces, training that's credited with sharpening the strategic, under-pressure decision making the firm now brings to its cases. The two associate lawyers bring their own distinct backgrounds: Cassandra Fafalios practised at a full-service downtown Toronto firm before joining, handling commercial, contract, estate, and real estate disputes, and Michael Campbell worked as legal counsel at Tarion on construction and breach of warranty matters after spending close to two decades as an advanced care paramedic. Most of the firm's cases settle without a trial, though it litigates through to judgment when a dispute can't be resolved another way.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is in a multi-tenant business park on Duncan Mill Road in North York, west of the Don Valley Parkway, an area built around office buildings and professional-services suites rather than a downtown core or a courthouse district. It's a fitting setting for a firm whose clients are mostly individuals and small to medium-sized businesses working through commercial disputes rather than large corporations with downtown legal departments. The Don Mills subway station on Line 4 is nearby, and Highway 401 and the 404 give clients coming from across the Greater Toronto Area a straightforward drive in for a meeting.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of cases does Kamalie Law handle?
The firm is devoted exclusively to civil and commercial litigation, covering contract disputes, debt and loan recovery, real estate disputes, construction disputes, fraud and asset recovery, injunctions and motions, shareholder disputes, partnership disputes, defamation, non-competition agreements, and non-solicitation agreements. It doesn't take on general practice matters outside these areas.
Someone owes me money and won't pay. Can Kamalie Law help me collect it?
Debt and loan recovery is one of the firm's core areas. It describes using tools like summary judgment motions to move a claim toward resolution faster than a full trial, and Mareva injunctions to freeze a debtor's assets before judgment so they can't be moved or hidden while a case is ongoing.
Does Kamalie Law only work with large companies?
No. The firm represents individuals as well as small and medium-sized businesses in disputes over contracts, debt, real estate, construction, and ownership, not primarily large corporate clients.
Will my case have to go to trial?
Not necessarily. The firm says most of its cases are resolved without going to trial, though it litigates through to judgment when a dispute can't be resolved another way.
Can Kamalie Law help with a dispute between business partners or shareholders?
Yes. Partnership disputes and shareholder disputes are both listed among the firm's practice areas, covering disagreements over ownership, control, and the terms of running a business together.

The office is at 255 Duncan Mill Road, Unit 609, in North York (M3B 3H9), reachable by phone at 416-806-1401 during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm.
