About Cumming & Partners
Cumming & Partners is a highly respected international law firm with a unique cross-border focus. Our head office is located in Toronto, Canada and we have additional offices in the United States. We provide legal services to companies and individuals throughout the United States and Canada.
Our law firm is truly different; each of our partners is licensed to practice law in both the United States and Canada. We have collectively more than fifty (50) years of experience providing seamless solutions to cross-border legal issues. This experience and expertise allows us to provide "best-in-class" legal services to our clients, and has facilitated our reputation as a leader in the legal profession and business community.
Cumming & Partners has two focused areas of practice: (1) Immigration Law; and (2) Wealth Management Law. Restricting our law practice to two areas, each requiring specialized knowledge, provides us with a competitive advantage. It also allows our law firm to solve complex legal issues and offer valuable strategic advice in the most cost effective and efficient manner.

Our Wealth Management Law practice offers high net worth individuals and other valued clients, in both Canada and the United States, with expertise on Estate Planning, Tax Planning, and other related areas.
We provide the highest quality legal advice and client service through an efficient business model that reduces costs and maximizes value. As a result of our focused practice areas and knowledge, we can normally provide clients with a flat fee quote for legal services in advance of starting a file. This provides our clients with cost certainty and exceptional value.
We understand the challenges of complicated cross-border legal issues. Our strength is helping clients solve legal issues in a prompt and cost-effective manner, allowing them to seize upon exciting business and/or personal opportunities.
