Founder Dr. Ran He holds a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School, a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine. That science background feeds into the firm's technology and biotech-focused intellectual property work. The firm's practice centers on four areas: technology and IP, commercial and financial litigation, capital markets work such as venture financing and pre-IPO transactions, and wealth management and trust planning for high-net-worth families.

The neighbourhood
THC Lawyers' Toronto office sits at 200 Bay Street, in the Royal Bank Plaza on the corner of Bay and Front streets, right in the heart of the city's financial district. The building's twin towers are known for their gold-coated glass, made with roughly 2,500 ounces of gold worked into the windows when it was built. It's a fitting address for a firm whose Toronto practice leans on capital markets and commercial litigation work, surrounded by the banks, brokerages, and Bay Street institutions that its clients deal with.
