Li & Partners

About Li & Partners

Li & Partners, legally Li Law Professional Corporation, was founded at the end of 2009 by Li, Shu Kuan, a barrister, solicitor, and notary public. After close working associations with other lawyers, the firm applied to use the trade name Li and Partners, which is the name it operates under today. It's based in Markham, Ontario, and works in both English and Chinese.

The practice is built around real estate, covering residential purchases, refinancing, and title transfers as well as commercial deals involving gas stations, office buildings, golf courses, and large warehouses. It also handles business purchase and sale work for restaurants, cafes, and franchise locations, corporate and startup financing, and notary services such as document certification and apostille requests. According to statistics from First Canadian Title, the firm's real estate transaction volume ranked in the highest 25% nationally from 2014 until before the pandemic. Li earned a law degree from the Law School of Renmin University of China and a J.D. from the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law, and worked at a Provincial High People's Court in China and at DLA Piper LLP before starting the firm.
