My name is Steven Broadley and I am the owner/operator of notary-toronto.ca.
I opened notary-toronto.ca with two goals in mind:
* Notary/commissioning services should be affordable and accessible.
* Notary/commissioning services should be fast and efficient.
Notary services in Toronto have been overpriced for far too long. By relying upon technology, and a focus on reducing overhead, I have been able to bring the overall cost of notary/commissioning services to $10 per seal/oath. I have done so without sacrificing attention to detail or professionalism.
A little about me…
I graduated from York University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2012, having studied Political Science. So, after graduation, I did what any undergraduate political science student does, I enrolled in law school.
I received my law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School. Selected by the Dean, I received the Gold Key Award for Osgoode students who have made an outstanding contribution to the Law School. I also received the Helen Grossman, QC Prize for the student who excels in his/her contribution to the Community and Legal Aid Services Program of Osgoode Hall Law School, the Legal and Literary Honour Award, the Ross McMillan Award, and the Masters Award.
I was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 2016. I articled at Jellinek Law Office Professional Corporation and focused on civil litigation – representing clients who have survived sexual assault in civil court. I focused on representing my clients through strong advocacy before the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board and through the many stages of a civil lawsuit.
After my articling was completed, I transitioned into an in-house counsel role at Manulife. While at Manulife, I had the responsibility to review, negotiate, and create contracts and agreements to ensure regulatory compliance with British Columbia's Financial Institutions Commission's Bulletin INS-15-002 (FICOM Bulletin).
I have also worked for Deloitte as a consultant on matters related to anti-terrorist financing and anti-money laundering. I follow the law on bitcoin, and am fascinated by how technology will help shape the future.
