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.
