Peires Law LLP is a small Toronto firm that focuses exclusively on family law. It was founded by siblings Kevin and Gary Peires and works out of an office on Bay Street in the city's Financial District. The practice covers divorce, custody and access, division of property, child support, and spousal support, and it works through negotiation, mediation, and collaborative family law before turning to litigation for the cases that actually need a court's involvement. The firm serves clients across Toronto and the wider Greater Toronto Area, including Durham, Halton, Peel, and York Region.
Kevin Peires brings a finance background to the practice, having graduated from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Commerce, training the firm draws on when a separation involves complicated financial disentanglement. Kevin's career has been devoted entirely to family law since. Gary Peires holds an Honours degree in Economics from York University and a law degree from the University of Windsor, and alongside family law also handles estate planning and estate administration.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's suite is in the Sterling Tower at 372 Bay Street, a historic office building at Bay and Richmond that dates to 1928 and was renovated in 1999, in the middle of Toronto's Financial District. Bay Street is best known as shorthand for Canada's big banks and its largest full service business law firms, so a two lawyer family law practice a few floors up is a different kind of tenant for the same address.
