About Rathore & Baig
One of the highest-rated law firms in Markham, going by its Google reviews.
Rathore Baig Professional Corporation practices exclusively in real estate law, with offices in Markham and North York, Ontario. Ricky Rathore and Mohammed Ahad Baig founded the firm in 2016, several years after co-founding a real estate brokerage together in 2013. Rathore holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Ryerson University, trained as a lawyer afterward, and still holds a real estate broker's licence alongside a law practice. Baig, the firm's managing partner, is a Certified Specialist in Real Estate Law and worked as a real estate salesperson before moving into law.
The firm limits its work to purchases, sales, refinances, and title transfers, plus residential and commercial leasing and related business acquisitions. Its website argues that specializing narrowly, rather than taking on general practice work, lets it handle real estate files more efficiently. The firm reports closing more than 7,000 real estate transactions overall, including over 5,250 between 2016 and 2020. A third lawyer, Jermaine Sirjue, rounds out the practice, and the firm's site also carries a blog of case commentary on Ontario real estate court decisions, covering topics like failed closings, deposit disputes, and financing conditions.

The neighbourhood
Rathore & Baig's main office sits in a building the firm calls the Real Estate Business Centre, on Markham Road in Markham. The city has grown from about 56,000 residents in 1976 to well over 300,000 today, and it brands itself Canada's High-Tech Capital. Immigrants made up 58% of Markham's population in the 2021 census. That kind of growth, in a market built on steady real estate turnover, is the backdrop for a firm that works only in real estate transactions.
The firm added a second Markham office on Kennedy Road, which its site labels Downtown-Markham, and an office in North York on Scarsdale Road. Between the two Markham addresses and the North York location, the practice has a presence on both the York Region and Toronto sides of the region it serves, without branching outside real estate and related business work.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Rathore & Baig handle anything besides real estate law?
- No. The firm's website says it practices only real estate law, covering purchases, sales, closings, refinances, title transfers, and residential and commercial leasing, along with related business acquisitions, rather than taking on other areas of law.
- Can Rathore & Baig help me buy my first home in Markham or North York?
- Yes. The firm handles residential purchase and sale transactions across the GTA, including negotiation, contract review, and closing, from its Markham and North York offices.
- I'm a landlord and my tenant hasn't paid rent. Can the firm help?
- The firm's Residential Leases practice covers Residential Tenancies Act compliance, rent increases, and evictions, so landlord-tenant matters fall within its work.
- What will closing cost me on top of legal fees?
- The firm's fees page lists disbursements separately from legal fees: land transfer tax (plus an added Toronto tax where that applies), title insurance, and electronic registration and search fees. A sale also carries a $65 plus tax transaction levy. The firm asks buyers and sellers to call and speak with the managing partner for a fee quote.

- The firm has three GTA locations: its main office at the Real Estate Business Centre on Markham Road in Markham, a second Markham office on Kennedy Road that its site labels Downtown-Markham, and a North York office on Scarsdale Road.
