Zi Wang
Zi Wang is a criminal defence lawyer representing clients in Toronto and across Ontario. His practice has a particular focus on impaired driving and intimate partner violence (IPV) matters, including domestic assault, assault, uttering threats, mischief, and related charges.
Zi approaches criminal cases with careful preparation and close attention to the evidence. His work includes reviewing Crown disclosure, identifying inconsistencies in police and witness evidence, examining potential Charter issues, negotiating with Crown counsel, and preparing cases for resolution or trial.
Before entering criminal defence, Zi practised law in Shanghai for more than seven years in both private practice and in-house roles. He began his legal career at Llinks Law Offices, where his practice focused on capital markets, IPOs, corporate transactions, and regulatory compliance. He later practised at Huiye Law Firm, handling financing transactions, due diligence, employment disputes, and other corporate and commercial matters, before moving in-house at a technology company.
This background trained Zi to analyze complex documents, identify inconsistencies and legal risks, and approach each case systematically. He brings the same analytical discipline and attention to detail to criminal defence.
