Toronto Litigation Lawyer

Yeliz Elénore Beygo is the Founder and Principal Lawyer of Zel Law, a litigation and dispute resolution firm based in Toronto, Ontario.

The name Zel comes from joining the letter “Z” in “Yeliz” with the letters “El” in “Elénore” to evoke the word “zealous.” "Zealous" is a term used in legal ethics to describe a lawyer’s strong and diligent advocacy for their client’s lawful interests.

Yeliz has achieved successful outcomes for clients as their litigation counsel in real estate, business, and estate disputes, through both favourable court decisions and negotiated settlements. Please note that past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Yeliz has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, including the Civil Practice Court, the Estates List, and the Small Claims Court. She has experience dealing with administrative boards and tribunals, including the Landlord and Tenant Board and the License Appeal Tribunal, and self-regulatory authorities.

Yeliz is in her happy place when advocating on behalf of everyday Ontarians. She has previously declined offers to work as counsel for the Department of Justice and a top litigation boutique. Yeliz chose to work at smaller firms instead, where she got to do meaningful work for everyday Ontarians from day one.

She later founded Zel Law for the “missing middle”: Ontarians who are too wealthy to qualify for legal aid, but cannot afford to retain counsel at firms following the classic "Bay Street” billing model.
