The neighbourhood

The firm's office is on Sheppard Avenue East in Willowdale, part of North York's high rise core around Yonge and Sheppard. The area is served by four subway stations, Bayview, Finch, North York Centre, and Sheppard Yonge, and is anchored by the North York Civic Centre and the Empress Walk complex, which makes it an easy base for clients travelling in from across the GTA.

Willowdale is also one of Toronto's more multicultural neighbourhoods, with a large share of residents born outside Canada and sizeable Chinese, Korean, and Iranian communities. That mix lines up with the firm's own roster of languages, English, Korean, Farsi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese, Hindi, and Punjabi, letting the team work with many of its immediate neighbours in their own language.
