Tupman & Bloom LLP

About Tupman & Bloom LLP

Tupman & Bloom LLP is a litigation firm founded in Toronto in 2018 by Lionel J. Tupman and Arieh Bloom, who had worked together earlier in their careers at Whaley Estate Litigation Partners. The firm's head office is in the Sterling Tower at 372 Bay Street, and it also keeps offices in Halifax and Vancouver. Its lawyers are called to the bar across Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia, and Alberta, which lets the firm act in estate and trust disputes in most provinces without bringing in local counsel.

The practice concentrates on will challenges, capacity and power of attorney disputes, and passing of accounts, along with related civil and appellate litigation and disputes among family business owners. Before turning to law, Bloom worked as a Certified Public Accountant at KPMG and clerked for justices of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Counsel Debra Stephens, who joined the firm in 2019, previously practiced at WEL Partners, the same Toronto estate litigation firm where Tupman and Bloom had worked together. Chambers Canada's High Net Worth guide has ranked the firm's estate and trust litigation practice in Toronto, and a member of its counsel has been listed in Best Lawyers in Canada for estates and trusts work every year since 2009.
