Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits inside 3080 Yonge Street, a redeveloped office and retail building at the corner of Yonge Street and Lawrence Avenue in Toronto's Bedford Park neighbourhood. The building's ground floor is anchored by a Loblaws City Market rather than the professional-services tenants that often fill a law office's street level, and it includes a public art piece called In n Out. It connects directly to the TTC's Lawrence subway station, useful for clients travelling from other parts of the city for a meeting.
