About Perrys LLP

Perrys LLP is a small litigation firm at 3817 Bloor Street West in Toronto's Etobicoke district. Founder Ian J. Perry and associate lawyer Julian Shephard make up the firm's two lawyers, backed by a law clerk, a student-at-law, a legal assistant, and an operations manager. The firm's practice covers civil and commercial litigation, employment disputes, what it calls life altering events (personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims), and disputes over wills, estates, and trusts. Its site describes representing both individuals and organizations, including labour unions, in Ontario's courts.

Perry graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2013, earning the Dean's Gold Key and serving as president of the Osgoode Mooting Society. That year, Perry was also part of the school's first place team at the Gale Cup Moot. Perry was called to the Ontario bar in 2014. The Canadian Law Blog Awards, known as the Clawbies, recognized Perry in their Law and Laughter category in 2020 for a video series reviewing breakfast and coffee spots near Toronto's courthouses alongside commentary on the local legal community. The firm's commercial litigation page describes over a decade of experience in that area, and its team page lists Perry as a Post City Magazine Top Lawyer in civil litigation for 2024 and 2025.

The neighbourhood

Perrys LLP's office is on Bloor Street West on Toronto's western edge, near Islington and Kipling, two stops on the subway's Bloor-Danforth line. Islington station opened in 1968 and Kipling followed in 1980, so the area has had transit access for longer than much of Toronto's western suburbs. The nearby area, part of Toronto's Etobicoke district, is known as one of the city's business districts outside downtown, a role tracing back to its history as the community of Islington Village. For clients who don't drive, the office is reachable directly by subway.
