Torys goes avant-garde in renovated Toronto office

The Globe and Mail

Torys LLP has taken deal room ambience to a new and edgy high with the opening this week of its renovated offices in the Toronto-Dominion Centre. Under the sharp eye of partner and modern art collector Richard Balfour and Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, Torys has created a breathtaking new floor of offices that could easily pass for an art gallery. Most major law firms are serious art collectors, but what distinguishes Torys' approach is the avant-garde Canadian photographs it has purchased which feature everything from garbage bags to abandoned quarries.
