General Overview of Firm
Zuber & Company LLP was established over twenty-three years ago by David A. Zuber. From the firm's inception in February 1999 with just a handful of staff, we have grown to twenty-nine lawyers, fourteen law clerks and two paralegals, with a complete staff of over 70 people. Throughout this growth, the firm has retained an informal, boutique-style atmosphere while maintaining its commitment to providing excellence in the delivery of high-quality legal services, including a high degree of personalized contact with our clients throughout all stages of the legal process.
We are located in downtown Toronto, three blocks from the Toronto courts, in the heart of the financial and entertainment district. However, we have defended cases in every jurisdiction in Ontario. Areas of the province our firm routinely services are Toronto and surrounding areas, Hamilton and Niagara, Kitchener-Waterloo, Barrie, Durham, Southwestern Ontario notably London, Windsor and Sarnia, Belleville-Kingston, Ottawa, and all points North. We also have lawyers who have been called to the Bar in Nova Scotia, Alberta, Nunavut and Manitoba.
