About Oziel Law

Oziel Law is a Toronto business and technology law firm founded in 2012 by Allan Oziel. The firm works mainly with startups and established companies in software, gaming, fintech, and other technology-driven industries, covering corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital financing, technology contracts, and intellectual property work such as trademarks and patents. Oziel Law has been recognized as a Tier 1 Law Firm for Technology Law by Best Law Firms, and Allan Oziel has been named to Best Lawyers in Canada for technology law and listed as a Lawyer to Watch by the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory.

Allan Oziel holds an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in Business from York University, was called to the Ontario bar in 2009, and is also a registered trademark agent. Before starting the firm, Oziel worked in private practice at a large firm and as corporate counsel for a publicly traded financial institution. That background shows in how the firm runs today: it offers flat rate pricing for many services, meets clients by phone or video as readily as in person, and accepts payment by credit card, e-transfer, and cryptocurrency. Oziel Law's nine lawyers handle everything from incorporation and venture financing to trademark protection, and the firm helps eligible businesses tap government programs, including Canada's IRAP IP Assist Program, to offset the cost of IP legal work.

The neighbourhood

Oziel Law's office is at Bloor Street West and Bay Street in Toronto, right on the southern edge of the Yorkville neighbourhood. Yorkville was once a Victorian residential enclave, but land along Bloor Street filled in with office towers and department stores after the Bloor subway line raised the value and allowable density of the land, and Bloor Street itself is now lined with commercial towers next to the Mink Mile shopping strip.

That office corridor fits a firm built around flexible, technology-enabled work. Oziel Law describes its client base as spanning Toronto, North York, and the wider Greater Toronto Area, and it meets many clients by phone or video rather than requiring them to come downtown, so the Bloor and Bay address serves as a base for a practice that isn't limited to the surrounding blocks.
