About Walker Law Professional Corporation

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Walker Law Professional Corporation is a litigation firm at 401 Bay Street in Toronto's financial district. Tanya Walker founded the practice in 2010 after leaving a Bay Street firm in the fourth year of practice, opening Walker Law with a part time assistant and a mandate that clients and staff would be treated fairly. Most of Walker's clients from the previous firm followed Walker to the new practice, and the firm has since grown into a team of seven lawyers, working alongside law students and support staff.

The firm concentrates on civil and commercial litigation, taking on contract, real estate, and construction disputes as well as franchise law, fraud litigation, and employment litigation for both employees and employers. Lawyers appear before Ontario's Superior Court, Divisional Court, and Court of Appeal, and before tribunals including the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Walker, the managing partner, is a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation and was sworn in as a Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario in 2016. Walker has been re-elected twice since and appears regularly as a legal analyst on television.
