Overview
Torys has called Toronto home since its start in 1941, providing fertile ground to establish our approach to work and become one of the country’s most recognized full-service corporate firms.
In Toronto our advice and capabilities are comprehensive, including experienced cross-border counsel and in all of the firm’s services and industry areas. In Canada’s economic capital we have enjoyed a long history working with some of the country’s most significant businesses and organizations. The roots of many of the firm’s defining features, from our culture of teamwork to our student program and diversity activities, first took hold in Toronto. And as in all our offices, in Toronto we are proud of the ways we serve the broader community through pro bono and other support.
