About Wallach Lawyers
Wallach Lawyers is a small civil litigation firm based in Toronto, with its office on Dufferin Street in the city's north end. Founding lawyer Larry Wallach became a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation in 2004, after roughly a decade practicing more broadly, including commercial and residential real estate, landlord and tenant, corporate, family, administrative, and criminal law. Wallach is admitted to the bar in Ontario (1984), New York (1980), and Florida (1981), and completed Harvard's mediation program in 2008. Wallach has also served as a civil litigation instructor for the Bar Admission Course and at Humber College.
The firm describes its approach as Strategic Advocacy: sizing up a dispute and customizing the response, whether that means a carefully drafted letter, mediation, or a full trial. It draws a line between what it calls Pre-Crisis Management, resolving a problem before a lawsuit is filed, and Crisis Management, once litigation becomes necessary. The firm's second lawyer, Shaun Rotman, brought an information technology background from York University into the practice, applying it to virtual hearings and an electronic, paperless approach to case files. One example the firm points to is using internet archive records to challenge the other side's claimed damages in a case.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits near Dufferin Street and Wilson Avenue in Toronto's north end, inside the Clanton Park neighbourhood, within walking distance of Wilson subway station on Line 1. Highway 401 runs along the neighbourhood's southern edge, so clients coming from elsewhere in the GTA have a fairly direct trip whether they drive or take transit. Clanton Park itself is mostly residential, a mix of postwar bungalows and newer mid rise condo buildings, and home to one of Toronto's larger Filipino communities alongside sizeable Polish, Italian, and Russian populations.
