Chapter 01 · A Toronto Practice
Where U.S. founders
land in Canada.
We opened in Toronto in 2020 specifically to handle cross-border work: U.S. founders incorporating in Canada, Canadian founders raising from U.S. capital, and the tax, immigration, and structural questions that come with both. The team is half-Canadian-tax-counsel-network, half-operator-bench.
TEAM · ON-SITE
8
Cross-border attorneys, tax specialists, and operator partners. Smaller team, deeper specialism.
EXPANSIONS · RUN
42
U.S.-to-Canada and Canada-to-U.S. expansion engagements over the last 24 months.
FLOOR · 4TH FLOOR
3,200sqft
Open studio, an 8-seat boardroom, and a private call room for cross-border counsel sessions.
COUNSEL · NETWORK
45+
Canadian and U.S. specialist counsel relationships in our network — tax, immigration, IP, securities.

Chapter 03 · Why Yorkville, Why Toronto
Three reasons
we picked it.
Toronto is the gravity well of Canadian capital, talent, and counsel. Yorkville is where most of the founders we work with already operate. The geography makes the work shorter.
REASON · 01
Inside the cross-border lane
Most U.S.-Canada law firms, Big Four cross-border tax desks, and Canadian banks operate within ten blocks of the studio. We've turned a six-week diligence cycle into a two-week one because we walk to most meetings.
OUTCOMEMost counsel meetings inside a 10-block radius.
REASON · 02
A bilingual operator bench
Toronto's senior-operator pool is dense, multilingual, and used to U.S. business norms. Our recruiting partners can place a senior hire who's fluent in both Canadian and U.S. operating contexts.
OUTCOMEBilingual senior placements within 6-8 weeks.
REASON · 03
A neighborhood that looks like the work
Yorkville is brick, daylight, walking. We chose it because it reflects the studio's pace — less Bay Street formality, more working-floor honesty. The team prefers it.
OUTCOMEA studio that matches the practice.

Chapter 04 · Visiting Us
What to expect
at the door.
The Toronto studio is set up for working sessions: cross-border counsel days, Canadian incorporation walkthroughs, and senior-operator interviews. Plan for a focused half-day or full-day.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
A few things that make the visit smoother.
Confirm 48 hours ahead, bring photo ID, and arrive 10 minutes early. Reception is on the fourth floor; the elevator requires a key fob — we'll meet you in the lobby. The freight entrance on the alley is for deliveries only.
Dress is smart-casual; the team works without ties. The boardroom has a 75” display, a whiteboard, and conference-grade audio for cross-border calls. Guest Wi-Fi is fast.
There's no on-site parking. The Green P lot at 25 Bathurst is two blocks west and reliably has space. The 504 subway stops in front of the building; from Pearson, the UP Express to Union and a streetcar east is 35 minutes.
