About Shirley Eve Levitan, Family and Fertility Law
Shirley Eve Levitan, Family and Fertility Law is a solo Toronto practice combining two related fields: family law and fertility law. Levitan was called to the Ontario bar in 1988 and is also admitted to practice in New York State. Levitan's career began at a large Bay Street firm, continued at what the firm describes as the largest all-woman law firm in Canada as a partner, and led to opening a solo practice under Levitan's own name in 1991. The family law focus has continued since that time, with fertility law added to the practice in 1996.
On the family law side, the firm concentrates on out of court resolution of separation and divorce, using negotiation, mediation, or collaborative practice rather than litigation. The fertility law side covers agreements for surrogacy and egg or sperm donation, and it serves intended parents, donors, and gestational carriers working with fertility clinics and hospitals across Canada and, for fertility matters, internationally. Levitan holds a science degree from the University of Toronto and a law degree from the University of Ottawa, and has taught for years as an adjunct at Queen's University's Faculty of Law.
