Miller Thomson is pleased to announce that Faruk Gafic has joined the Firm’s Real Estate Transactions and Leasing group in Toronto.

Faruk brings nearly 20 years of experience advising landlords and tenants in office, industrial, and retail sectors. He is known for being responsive, practical, and dependable under pressure, with a strong track record of meeting tight deadlines.

His practice focuses on commercial leasing and includes drafting and negotiating leases, offers to lease, and amending agreements involving expansions, relocations, partial surrenders, terminations, and licence arrangements. Faruk has contributed to the successful completion of leasing transactions involving complex arrangements and high-volume portfolios. His clients appreciate his clear, grounded advice and his ability to spot and resolve issues before they arise.

“We are pleased to welcome Faruk to the Firm,” said Jay Hoffman, Chair of the National Business Law group. “His expertise in commercial leasing is a great addition to our Real Estate team as we continue to support clients through complex and evolving real estate markets.”

Faruk joins Miller Thomson’s national team of real estate lawyers, enhancing the Firm’s capacity to serve clients in Ontario and across Canada. Alongside Daniel Malher, Ciaron Czajkowski and Gordon Van Vliet, who also joined earlier this year, he will solidify the Firm’s real estate expertise.
