About Perlin Bal Figol LLP

Perlin Bal Figol LLP, also known as PBF Law, is a full-service law firm based in Toronto with an office presence in New York City. The firm's site describes it as headquartered in both cities and built around corporate and securities law, litigation, and real estate. It's a mid-sized practice for the downtown Toronto market, with four partners and four associates working alongside a team of law clerks and paralegals. Rather than defaulting to hourly billing, the firm offers clients flat fees, deferred fees, or contingency arrangements, a structure it presents as a way to give clients more certainty over legal costs.

The firm carries the names of three of its partners. Daniel Perlin holds a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School and an MBA from the Schulich School of Business, along with the CFA designation, and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2013 and the New York Bar in 2018. Jasdeep Bal was called to the Ontario Bar in 2012, and John Figol, who also holds a BComm from the University of Toronto, was called to the Ontario Bar in 2015. Perlin's cross border bar admission lines up with the firm's stated New York presence and its work on multi jurisdictional matters.

The neighbourhood

The Toronto office is at 375 University Avenue, Suite 801, along the same stretch of University Avenue as 393 University Avenue, home to the civil division of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. That's a fitting location for a practice that includes commercial litigation, insurance disputes, and shareholder conflicts, since those are the kinds of civil matters filed and argued at that courthouse.
