About Daoust Vukovich LLP

Daoust Vukovich LLP was formed in 1995 by a few keen lawyers with a common goal – to achieve excellence in delivering first-quality, affordable legal services to clients with commercial leasing, real estate and related litigation needs.
We are well known in professional and industry circles as a leading commercial leasing and property development boutique firm, providing premier legal services and an unparalleled depth of experience.

The firm enjoys a unique reputation in that it is the only boutique of its kind in Canada, combining the insight of in-house counsel (many of the lawyers and clerks have worked in-house with major landlords and tenants) with the skill sets of a major full-service law firm (several of the lawyers were previously partners in large Toronto full-service law firms).
The firm comprises 12 lawyers and 6 law clerks, as well as 17 other staff members.

At Daoust Vukovich LLP, we are dedicated to superior results and exemplary client service. Through practical application of our knowledge, efficient allocation of resources, elimination of superfluous expenses and careful management of time, we keep our clients’ needs foremost in our minds. We avoid clutter and invest in results. We are business minded lawyers who move deals forward – unlocking the door to your next opportunity.
