The neighbourhood

The firm's office is in Simpson Tower at 401 Bay Street, a 33 story building completed in 1968 that served for decades as the head office of the Hudson's Bay Company and, before that, the Simpsons department store chain. The tower sits in Toronto's financial and retail core, integrated with the Eaton Centre across Queen Street. It's an established downtown address for a firm whose practice is built around remote and distributed work, giving the team a fixed base for court appearances and in person meetings while most of the day to day work happens off site.
