Firm Overview:

Torkin Manes LLP is a full service law firm based in downtown Toronto. Founded in 1974, we have built our firm by focusing on the core principles we believe make a great law firm: a deep and personal understanding of clients’ business needs; a results-oriented approach to practice that provides practical, smart, and cost-effective advice; and, above all, responsiveness to our clients, which range from public and private corporations, to professional practices, to individuals. Torkin Manes is unique in the Toronto marketplace for having not only a highly experienced business law group, but also one of the best family law groups in Canada. The firm’s litigation expertise is both wide and deep, ranging from commercial litigation to health law. Many of the firm's lawyers are well known throughout the profession and business community as highly respected leaders in their practice areas, as well as teachers, authors and advocates for the Law Society of Ontario and the Ontario Bar Association.

When clients require legal services in other jurisdictions, we leverage our affiliation with Meritas, an international network of select law firms of which Torkin Manes is a member, to facilitate the procurement of excellent legal service and counsel worldwide.

Our client-driven approach has brought professional accolades. Torkin Manes has been named the 2024 Regional Law Firm of the Year (Central Canada) at the Canadian Law Awards, in addition to our long-standing recognition as Top Regional Law Firm (Ontario) by Canadian Lawyer Magazine. The firm is also consistently shortlisted as one of Canada's Regional Law Firms of the Year by Chambers and Partners’ Chambers Canada Awards. Our Construction, Corporate & Commercial, Family Law and Real Estate Groups are all recognized on the Globe & Mail’s Best Law Firms in Canada list.
