About Rose, Persiko, Rakowsky, Melvin LLP
Rose, Persiko, Rakowsky, Melvin LLP is a small Toronto law firm with four lawyers, based in the North York Centre complex on Yonge Street. It focuses on real estate and commercial law: acquisitions and development, commercial mortgage lending and other secured transactions, commercial leasing, mortgage remedies, general corporate and commercial matters, commercial litigation, and wills and estate planning.
Senior and Managing Partner Ronald B. Melvin was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1981 and built a practice heavily weighted toward commercial mortgage lending and real estate, including hotel acquisitions. Partner Allan A. Rakowsky was admitted with honours in 1975 and works a mix of real estate and corporate and commercial law, acting for clients ranging from Schedule A chartered banks to private lenders and commercial landlords. Partner Dan Bank's legal career began at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt in that firm's Corporate and Energy group, before a move in-house at a renewable energy company; Bank now offers commercial law and start-up counsel to entrepreneurs. Daniel Goldlist was called to the Ontario bar in 2017.
A senior corporate and commercial lawyer, Marvin Arnold, Q.C., keeps an office within the firm's premises. Admitted to the Ontario Bar for more than 57 years, Arnold is available to the firm full time as corporate counsel.
