About Cherniak Law PC

Cherniak Law Professional Corporation is a solo law firm on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, Ontario, serving individuals, families and businesses across York Region and the Greater Toronto Area. Jason Cherniak founded the firm in 2008, two years after being called to the bar in 2006. Cherniak holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, majoring in Ethics, Society and Law and in History, and a law degree from Dalhousie University. The firm practices real estate, corporate and business law, wills and estates, land development, and civil litigation, and it also takes on libel and slander matters.

On the land development side, the work has included the acquisition, subdivision and servicing of land for hundreds of new homes in the GTA, and the firm represents landowners who are part of cost-sharing groups tied to those projects. The libel and slander practice is a less common addition for a firm this size. The firm's own site attributes it to years of political and social media involvement that gave Cherniak firsthand experience with how quickly a reputation can be damaged online. The firm moved to its current Yonge Street suite in 2017 and continues to operate as a one-lawyer practice.
