IY LAW FIRM

What IY LAW FIRM does

IY LAW FIRM is a private general-practice law firm headquartered at 6470 Chebucto Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, founded in 2022 by Igor Yushchenko. The firm delivers legal services across five practice areas — real estate, corporate law, personal injury, civil litigation, and immigration — to individuals and small businesses in the Atlantic Canadian market, with explicit cross-border reach into Ukraine via the founder's dual Canada-Ukraine bar admission. The firm differentiates on multilingual service delivery (English, Mandarin, Ukrainian, and Russian) and a team-based case-handling model in which the legal team meets each morning to discuss open matters.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services practice with no proprietary technology platform; the website (hosted on GoDaddy Website Builder) functions primarily as a digital storefront with appointment booking and a contact form, supplemented by a free phone consultation as the lead-generation mechanism. Revenue is generated through billable legal services — consultations, case representation, document preparation, and proceedings — across the five practice areas, with no publicly disclosed hourly rates, fee structures, or subscription pricing.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospective clients discover the practice via the website, initiate contact through a form or phone call, and convert through a free consultation into engagement. Distribution is single-country domestic (Canada), with no disclosed institutional clients, referral partnerships, or anchor accounts. The customer base is horizontal, segmented by use case rather than by industry, with primary emphasis on real estate, personal injury, and immigration matters.
