About Kannan Ramnath Professional Corporation
Kannan Ramnath Professional Corporation is a law practice based in Scarborough, with an office at GTA Square on Finch Avenue East. Kannan Ramnath enrolled as a lawyer in India in 1988 and built an early practice there in civil, criminal, and business law, including international trade matters, before becoming a Barrister and Solicitor with the Law Society of Ontario in 2008. The Ontario practice now centers on three areas: real estate law, corporate and business law, and WTO and GATT trade law, a niche few small Toronto area firms cover.
The real estate practice handles residential and commercial purchase and sale closings across Ontario, along with refinancing, private mortgage registrations, and the drafting of commercial lease agreements for clients such as restaurants, motels, and hotels. The corporate practice covers incorporations, contract drafting and review, and governance and compliance matters for business clients. On the trade side, the firm advises companies, including Canadian pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial plastics manufacturers, on the multilateral rules that govern international trade under the World Trade Organization and the General Agreement on Trade and Tariff. Kannan Ramnath holds a BA and MA in economics, an MBA in marketing management, law degrees from the University of Madras and Bharathiar University in India, and a Canadian LLB from the University of Windsor.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits inside GTA Square, a two storey, 40,000 square foot mall on Finch Avenue East near Markham Road in Scarborough. The Globe and Mail reported in November 2008 that GTA Square had opened a couple of months earlier as Toronto's first indoor mall built for a South Asian clientele, home to shops selling saris and salwar kurtas with Tamil devotional music playing over the loudspeakers. It's an unusual, distinctly local setting for a law office that also advises manufacturers and exporters on WTO and GATT trade rules.
