About Samantha Eisen & Company
Samantha Eisen & Company is a family law firm at 545 King Street West in Toronto's King West neighbourhood. Founder Samantha Eisen started the firm after practicing family law at two Toronto firms, one focused only on family law and the other combining family and civil litigation with a focus on cases involving gender-based violence and abuse. Eisen holds a psychology degree from Dalhousie University, a law degree from the University of Toronto (2017), and a Master of Laws in Dispute Resolution from Osgoode Hall Law School (2024), and was called to the Ontario bar in 2018.
The firm handles the full range of family law work, including separation and divorce, parenting and support, property division, and cohabitation or marriage contracts, using negotiation, mediation, collaborative law, and litigation up to the Court of Appeal. It also focuses on family violence, gender-based violence, and intimate partner violence, taking a trauma-informed approach that draws on Eisen's psychology background. The small team has varied prior careers, including a former academic librarian and a lawyer previously licensed in Hong Kong, and between them the lawyers speak English, Tagalog, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office at 545 King Street West sits in a renovated brick and beam building in Toronto's King West neighbourhood, between Brant and Portland Streets. The building dates to the area's industrial era and now holds shared office space with exposed brick walls, wood beam ceilings, and a rooftop terrace, the kind of conversion that has turned many of King West's old warehouses into modern workspace. The neighbourhood is known for its restaurants and nightlife along King Street, and it's become a spot where small firms and startups work out of renovated heritage buildings rather than office towers.
