About Woolgar VanWiechen Cosgriffe Ducoffe LLP

Woolgar VanWiechen Cosgriffe Ducoffe LLP is a business law firm founded in 1992 and based in downtown Toronto. Its office sits at 70 The Esplanade, a building put up in the early 1880s by the Wm. and J. G. Greey Company to house a flour mill manufacturing operation. The building is part of the former Greey's Toronto Mill Furnishing Works Factory complex and was designated by the City of Toronto in 2006 for its architectural and contextual significance, sitting within the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District.

The firm practices commercial litigation, corporate and M&A work, employment and labour law, real estate, wills and estate planning, and insolvency and restructuring. Its client base runs from small, early-stage companies to large public and private corporations, including family-run businesses and non-profit organizations. Rather than growing into a large-firm model, the partners describe choosing to keep the practice selective, aiming to understand each client's business well enough to give strategic rather than purely transactional advice. The firm also built e2r, a separate service that gives employers ongoing human resources and employment law support on a monthly retainer instead of billing case by case.
