Boghosian + Allen

What Boghosian + Allen does

Boghosian + Allen LLP is a Toronto-headquartered litigation boutique founded in 2005 and structured as an Ontario limited liability partnership. The firm is led by named partners David G. Boghosian, Avril Allen, and Sachin Persaud, supported by two counsel (Rolf M. Piehler, Barry Cox), five associates, an articling student, and four law clerks — consistent with the disclosed 11-50 employee band. Its practice is concentrated in three areas: public sector litigation (notably defense of municipalities and public authorities), product liability defense, and other specialty/commercial litigation matters. Clients described in the source material are primarily municipal governments (including the City of Brampton, cited as a multi-year client, and at least one other unidentified 'major GTA city') plus insurance/claims-management entities (Cunningham Lindsey Canada, retained since inception).

The firm delivers services through direct attorney-client engagements rather than intermediaries. The go-to-market motion is enterprise-style field sales: relationships are built through reputation, word-of-mouth among city solicitors and government procurement channels, and the firm's boglaw.ca website, which publishes a recurring insights blog featuring case-law commentary authored by named lawyers (with posts dated as recently as May 2026). There is no disclosed AI/automation layer; the 'technology' underlying the offering is the lawyers' subject-matter expertise and trial advocacy capability rather than any software product.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional legal fees — typically hourly billing or fixed-fee arrangements tied to matter complexity — with publicly disclosed pricing held as non-transparent. Ownership rests with the partners; the firm has no parent company, no disclosed institutional investors, and no subsidiaries. Geographic scope is limited to Ontario, Canada, with the Toronto office serving as the sole headquarters.
