About The Law Office of Greg D. Stephens Professional Corporation

The Law Office of Greg Stephens Professional Corporation is the Toronto practice of a single lawyer, Greg Stephens, who focuses on entertainment and media law with an emphasis on music law. Stephens studied at the University of Victoria before completing a Certificate in Business and a Juris Doctor at the University of Toronto, articled at Goodmans, and was called to the Ontario bar in 1993. The office is at 693 Queen Street East, the same Riverside address as Lewis Birnberg Hanet LLP, a media and entertainment law firm that Stephens has practiced alongside for years.

Before turning to law, Stephens spent years as a songwriter and touring musician, recording with a Canadian independent label and later with Capitol Records in the 1980s. That background carries into the legal practice, which has covered film, television, and new media matters alongside trademark and copyright protection, book publishing, and corporate work for creative clients. Stephens belongs to the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers and the American Bar Association, and has spoken at music industry conferences, including MIDEM in Cannes, France.

The neighbourhood

The office sits on Queen Street East in Toronto's Riverside neighbourhood, near the Queen Street Viaduct, at the west end of a strip the district itself describes as a small town within the big city. Riverside runs ten tree lined blocks east from the viaduct and is known for independent shops, vintage and design retailers, and cultural landmarks like the Broadview Hotel and the Opera House, and it has organized as a business improvement area since 1980, one of the city's first. For a practice built around music, film, and other creative clients, that arts oriented stretch of Queen Street is a fitting backdrop.
