Our History

Mendel Green founded Green & Spiegel LLP in 1962 when immigration law was in its infancy. It was not uncommon for families to be separated by seemingly arbitrary decisions and the prospect of an appeal was nonexistent – immigration decisions were final. The importance of our work was underlined by a lack of accessibility to representation – there were only two lawyers practicing immigration law in Toronto at the time.

What a difference more than 60 years can make. Since then, our practice has grown to include 8 U.S. offices, 9 partners, and a family of over 200 employees. We restrict our practice exclusively to immigration law and our law firm is considered an industry leader.

Our Culture

How is Green & Spiegel different? Simply put – we are all immigration, all of the time. We are built on the foundation of our staff and team approach to immigration services. Our diverse and talented staff of over 200 immigration professionals are able to offer services in over 20 different languages. We live our diversity – and it shows. Our mantra is to get the work done.
