About Purdy Law
Purdy Law is a solo corporate law practice run from downtown Toronto by Brendan Purdy, who holds a J.D. from the Common Law Section at the University of Ottawa and a Bachelor of Management and Organizational Studies from the University of Western Ontario, with a focus on finance and administration. The firm concentrates on corporate work in the mining and broader natural resources sector, covering public companies, capital markets, and securities matters, and it's a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada.
Purdy also holds two in-house roles alongside the private practice: Corporate Counsel and Acting Secretary at Advanced Explorations Inc. (TSXV: AXI), an iron ore exploration and development company, and General Counsel at CanUrsa Finance Inc., a private Toronto based financial advisory firm. That combination of private practice and in-house work keeps the firm close to the day to day realities of running a public resource company, not just advising on them from the outside.

The neighbourhood
Purdy Law's office is at 37 King Street East, Suite 409, in Toronto's Old Town, a heritage district on the eastern edge of the city's financial and business core.
Old Town includes several heritage buildings, among them the King Edward Hotel, built in 1903 for developer George Gooderham and named for King Edward VII. Ontario Heritage Trust unveiled a commemorative plaque for the building in 2003, and a 2009 restoration converted floors three through five into 140 residential condominiums. The district's location near Toronto's financial core fits a corporate practice built around public companies, capital markets, and securities work in the mining sector.
