About FIJ Law LLP

FIJ Law LLP is a full-service commercial law firm based in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Founded in 2004, it's grown almost entirely through repeat business and client referrals, serving Canada's six largest banks, credit unions, private lenders, entrepreneurs and businesses of every size. Its real estate practice covers industrial, retail, office and multi-unit residential properties rather than residential home purchases, and its litigation team represents financial institutions, banks, credit unions and title insurance companies in commercial disputes.

The firm's practice spans commercial litigation, real estate, corporate and commercial law, commercial lending, debt recovery and mortgage enforcement, estate planning, intellectual property and employment law. FIJ Law maintains an alliance with the firm Charness Charness & Charness, which it says lets it manage legal matters and draw on local knowledge in other parts of Canada. The firm also keeps up a steady stream of legal commentary on its website, on subjects from construction liens and commercial leases to changes in Ontario's Small Claims Court rules and corporate filing requirements.

The neighbourhood

FIJ Law's office sits on West Pearce Street in Richmond Hill, in a stretch of low-rise, multi-tenant office and industrial buildings known locally as the Beaver Creek Business Park, with easy access to major highways. It's a working commercial corridor of small businesses and warehouse space, not a downtown legal district, which suits a firm whose clients are mostly banks, lenders and other businesses rather than walk-in individuals. The building is close to David Hamilton Park and Kings College Park, with city bus routes along Leslie Street and Highway 7 within walking distance of the entrance.

Frequently asked questions

What areas of law does FIJ Law handle?
FIJ Law is a full-service commercial law firm that handles commercial litigation, real estate, corporate and commercial matters, commercial lending, debt recovery and mortgage enforcement, estate planning, intellectual property and employment law.

Does the firm act for lenders, or for borrowers too?
FIJ Law acts for both sides of a lending relationship. The firm represents banks, credit unions and private lenders on commercial loan transactions and mortgage enforcement, and it also advises corporate borrowers negotiating financing, security and priority issues.
I'm dealing with a construction lien registered against my home. Can the firm help?
FIJ Law has written about how a construction lien can become an encumbrance on a property's title and affect a homeowner's mortgage or refinancing, and its litigation team handles lien and related property disputes. The firm's article on the topic points to Ontario's Construction Act, which sets specific procedural rules and timelines once a lien is registered.
Can FIJ Law prepare a will or power of attorney?
FIJ Law's estate planning practice prepares wills and powers of attorney tailored to a client's circumstances, and helps estate representatives with the court applications, government filings and tax steps involved in administering an estate.
I think I was dismissed without proper notice. Can the firm review my severance?
FIJ Law's employment law practice advises both employers and employees on wrongful dismissal, employment contracts and human rights issues, which can include a claim that notice or severance was inadequate.

FIJ Law is based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, at 50 West Pearce Street, with a team of partners, associates and support staff working across its commercial law practice. The firm also maintains an alliance with Charness Charness & Charness, which it says lets it draw on local counsel for matters elsewhere in Canada.
