Elkind & Lipton LLP is a Canadian law firm, based in Toronto, specializing in Canadian and international business and financial law. We provide advice and counsel on a wide range of legal issues to domestic and international corporations, private companies, governments and high net worth individuals while providing the high level of legal expertise and personal service that our clients demand.

The firm was established in 1970, and in our 35 years of serving the public it has sought to meet the vision of a firm that offers the best quality legal services to a wide range of clientele, representing the domestic and international private, public, governmental and charitable sectors.

Our international practice serves the increasing number of Canadian companies conducting overseas transactions, foreign nationals and companies operating businesses in Canada as well as those seeking to enter Canada. General corporate and tax law including complex business transactions such as mergers and acquisitions constitute the main focus of our international practice. We are knowledgeable and sensitive to the intricacies in law and practice between Canada and an investor's home country and the problems of doing business in a foreign language.

For clients with international financial and business interests we maintain close relationships with other leading law and accounting firms and major financial organizations in such major cities as London, New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Munich. Through these relationships we can quickly assemble additional international resources when necessary.

In our domestic corporate practice we specialize in banking, corporate and commercial law, finance and securities, estates and trusts, taxation, bankruptcy and insolvency, administrative law, insurance, real estate and secured lending transactions.

Our litigation practice covers all aspects of civil and commercial litigation, as well as appearances before regulatory tribunals. We appear at all levels of courts in Canada, advocating our clients' causes in a wide variety of disputes in such areas as administrative law, air transportation, bankruptcy and receivership, construction disputes, criminal law, libel and defamation, estate and trusts, fraud and shareholder oppression, family law, gaming law, intellectual property, professional negligence, wrongful dismissal, real estate, tourism and the travel industry.

As a full-service law firm, Elkind & Lipton has a broad domestic and international practice, in which much of our legal work is sophisticated and complex. While in some cases the work may involve millions of dollars, we regularly handle smaller transactions with equal care and attention. For these smaller and medium size transactions, we pay particular attention to cost-effective procedures while providing the expertise and attention needed to meet our client's objectives.

Elkind & Lipton understands both sides of the commercial transaction. We've represented bankers and borrowers, developers and lenders, acquiring corporations and firms being acquired, plaintiffs and defendants. We've acted for foreign real estate developers, investors and lenders involved with real estate transactions and projects in Canada and abroad. Our clear understanding of the other party's perspective in a legal issue enables us to bring the matter to a satisfactory and economical conclusion for our clients.

A major segment of our practice involves dealing on a wide range of legal issues with federal and provincial government agencies and administrative bodies.
