About Halpern Stockhamer
Halpern Stockhamer is a small law firm with its office in Markham, Ontario, at 7500 Woodbine Avenue. It advises individuals and owner-managed businesses on corporate and commercial transactions, real estate purchases and sales, leasing, taxation, and estate and trust planning. The firm describes itself as a Toronto area practice and keeps both a Markham line and a Toronto line for clients, which lines up with Markham's position just across Steeles Avenue from Toronto. Markham has grown from a farming community into a base for corporate head offices, a setting that fits a practice built around business owners and commercial transactions.
The firm is run by two lawyers who took different paths into the practice. Halpern holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University, a Master of Business Administration from Cornell University, and a Juris Doctorate from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, and practices in estate and tax planning and corporate transactions. Stockhamer holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, awarded summa cum laude, from the University of Maryland and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Michigan Law School, and began a legal career in Washington DC before moving the practice to Ontario, where the focus is commercial, real estate, and corporate transactions.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits on Woodbine Avenue in Markham, a city that borders Toronto along Steeles Avenue. Markham has grown from a farming community into what it now brands itself as Canada's High-Tech Capital, home to the Canadian head offices of companies such as IBM, Honda Canada, and Hyundai. That kind of corporate concentration fits a practice built around incorporations, commercial leases, and transactions for owner-managed businesses. The firm keeps a Markham line and a Toronto line side by side, a small sign that it draws clients from both sides of Steeles Avenue rather than from Markham alone.
