About the Firm
Emil Flisfeder is the Principal Lawyer of Flisfeder Law Professional Corporation, a Toronto law firm he founded in 2026 to offer personal, attentive legal service in the old-school tradition. Emil grew up in Toronto, and his legal career spans more than a decade, from paralegal practice to the bar.
Emil began his career as a licensed paralegal. After completing the paralegal program at Seneca College, he served as General Manager of a GTA law firm, where he led the team and represented clients in accident benefits matters. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Surrey in England and his Certificate of Qualification from the National Committee on Accreditation, and was licensed to practise law in Ontario in 2023.
At Steiner Law Group LLP in Toronto, Emil progressed from articling student to Legal Practice Manager of the firm's Corporate, Commercial and Real Estate department, and then to lawyer within that group. His real estate practice spans residential and commercial transactions, with a particular focus on financing, lending and property acquisitions, and he has acted for builders and developers on subdivision, condominium and new home closings. His corporate and commercial work includes mergers and acquisitions and corporate restructurings, and it was this transactional practice that led him to employment law, now a core focus of the firm.
Emil works with a broad range of clients, including individuals, entrepreneurs, start-ups, family businesses, professionals, privately held companies and real estate developers. He assists with business structuring, transactions, real estate, financing, asset transfers and reorganizations, from the earliest planning stages through to closing.
His approach is practical and straightforward. He listens carefully, explains the options in plain language, and stays responsive from the first call to the final reporting letter. Where a matter calls for it, the firm works alongside trusted co-counsel so that every file has the right experience behind it.
Emil provides legal services in both English and Russian, and welcomes clients from Toronto, North York, Vaughan, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Markham, Mississauga, Barrie and communities across Ontario.
