Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Swann Law's office is in First Canadian Place, a 72 storey tower at King and Bay Streets that was Canada's tallest building from its completion in 1975 until 2025. The tower serves as the global operational executive office of the Bank of Montreal and includes a retail concourse connected to Toronto's underground PATH system.
For a firm that represents both employees and the employers who staff Toronto's downtown offices, working out of a prominent Financial District tower puts it close to many of the corporate head offices and HR departments it deals with.
