History
The firm was founded in 1941 by Toronto business lawyer John Stewart Donald Tory. In the 1960s the firm was renamed Tory Tory DesLauriers & Binnington. In 2000, it merged with New York law firm Haythe & Curley and was briefly known as Tory Haythe before being rebranded to Torys LLP.[2] Torys became a national firm with the opening of a Calgary office in 2011[3] and a Montreal office in 2013[4].
The firm is one of the Seven Sisters, a group of seven prominent Canadian business law firms.[5]
