About RV Law LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

RV Law LLP is a general practice firm based in Toronto, with a second office in Vaughan. Its name comes from its two founding lawyers, Antonio P. Raviele and Ivana Vaccaro, who started the practice in 2004 and are now in their third decade serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario. The firm handles business and corporate law, civil and commercial litigation, employment law, family law, criminal defence, real estate, and wills and estates. It also offers unbundled legal services, where a lawyer takes on specific agreed tasks rather than the full file, so clients pay only for what they use.

Vaccaro, the firm's managing partner, was called to the Ontario bar in 2004 and practices exclusively in family law, holding an Accredited Family Mediator (OAFM) designation and training as a parenting coordinator. The team also includes a lawyer admitted to the bar in both Ontario, in 1994, and Jamaica, in 1997, a credential that extends practice to Jamaica and 14 other English speaking Caribbean countries, a litigation lawyer who earned a law degree in 1983 and was previously a partner at Gowlings LLP before joining RV Law in 2014, and a lawyer with law degrees from Serbia and Canada who is a member of four law societies. The firm describes itself as small enough for personal attention, with the resources for more complex matters.
