Our skilled professionals are devoted problem solvers covering a wide range of practice areas for both businesses and individuals. In everything we do, we strive to be empathetic in our approach, clear in our communication, creative in our strategy, and transparent in our pricing.

Empathy — we start by listening carefully to what our clients want to achieve and why it's important to them.

Clarity — we work hard to distill complex legal concepts into work product that our clients can readily understand and use.

Creativity — we believe that bold, ambitious clients deserve lawyers who are not constrained by rigid thinking.

Transparency — cost is important to our clients, which is why we are up-front about our fees, and open about how we price our work.

Our firm was founded in 2002 by William (Bill) Friedman, a senior member of the Ontario bar.

After more than two decades as a partner and practitioner with large Bay Street firms, Bill saw the need for a different type of legal practice: one that prioritizes clients over billables, and quality service over frills.

Starting with one desk in an old bank vault, and growing into a thriving practice with more than thirty lawyers and support staff, Friedmans LLP has become a fixture of the Ontario legal market. From large financial institutions and established commercial real estate developers, to startup entrepreneurs and individuals looking for strong advocates in a time of need, Friedmans regularly services a wide range of client interests while always staying true to the values and qualities that make us different.

At Friedmans, we help our clients realize their business and personal goals through a broad range of legal services, tailored to their unique circumstances, at pricing that makes sense. 

With more than 70 years of combined experience, and a firm culture that prioritizes client service, Friedmans lawyers are ideally positioned to deliver exceptional value. We are so glad you found us, and are eager to assist you.
