Our Company
Lee & Company is a leading boutique Canadian immigration law firm based in Toronto, focusing on removals defence, immigration litigation and appeals. Since 2001 its team of experienced immigration lawyers and consultants have helped immigrants from all over the world resolve their Canadian immigration problems, whether their cases have been refused overseas or they are in-Canada facing deportation or they have otherwise encountered difficulties with immigration authorities.
Lee & Company Immigration Advocacy, Counsel & Litigation, began circa 2001 when Wennie Lee, who had gained experience in a top Bay Street law firm and a litigation boutique firm, was joined in her practice by Marko Vitorovich, a former immigration officer and at that time an immigration consultant with well over a decade of experience. From the outset, the firm was one of the first immigration firms deliberately focussed on immigration litigation with the aspiration to build a leading boutique immigration practice, understanding both the growing need and importance of litigation in the changing reality of Canadian immigration, and the need for counsel who honed their skills in immigration litigation specifically.
