Virtual appointmentsAbout Sachs Law Professional Corporation
Sachs Law Professional Corporation is a solo firm in North York, established in 2017, that concentrates on the legal needs of older adults. Its practice covers elder law matters such as capacity and guardianship issues, power of attorney abuse, and long term care concerns, along with wills, estates and trusts, and civil litigation including power of attorney and estate litigation. The firm also offers older adult and family mediation, and meets clients online, by telephone, in person at its office, or in a client's home.
Founder Rachel A. Sachs completed Ontario's Law Practice Program, run with Toronto Metropolitan University, from 2016 to 2017, and established the firm after finishing it. Before focusing on elder law, Sachs worked with charities and non-profits, financial institutions, and small businesses in fields ranging from energy to anti money laundering. Sachs holds a law degree, an undergraduate degree, a master's degree from the University of Edinburgh School of Business, and an executive MBA completed at Quantic School of Technology in 2022. The firm's focus on older adults traces to time spent volunteering at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre's veterans' wing and to caring for a grandparent living with dementia.
