About Substance Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Substance Law is a Toronto firm built around a narrow set of heavily regulated industries rather than general practice. Founder and managing lawyer Harrison Jordan advises businesses in cannabis, psychedelics, liquor, vaping, tobacco, food and drugs, fintech, money services, and crypto, areas where a licence or a regulator's approval usually matters as much as the underlying contract. The firm's office is at 10 King Street East, Suite 600, in downtown Toronto, and it works with clients across Canada rather than only within the city.

Jordan holds a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School and a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Public Policy from the University of Guelph, and is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. Jordan is also a Class 3 CPATA licensed trademark agent and a CAMS certified anti money laundering specialist, credentials that line up with the firm's regulatory and compliance focus, from AGCO retail authorizations and Health Canada cannabis licensing to FINTRAC compliance programs and CIPO trademark filings. The firm has been quoted on cannabis and regulatory topics by outlets including the BBC, Global News, CBC News, and CTV News, and it offers fixed fee pricing and virtual meetings alongside its downtown office.
