Rylan A. McCloskey, BAH, JD
Rylan obtained his Honours Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s University, with a major in Political Science, a minor in Philosophy, and a certificate in Gender Diversity. He remained at his Alma Mater for his law degree, where he was involved in the Labour and Employment Law Journal in his first year. Following a summer of studying abroad at the Bader International Study Centre, he joined the Queen’s Elder Law Clinic and gained invaluable practical experience in Wills and Estates which continues to benefit his practice today. Rylan accelerated his studies and graduated law school early.
Following his graduation, he joined Goldstein Rosen & Rassos as a Student-at-Law. He had a very well-rounded experience and was glad to be extensively involved in all practice areas of the firm.
Rylan’s practice is focused on four major areas:
real estate (e.g. residential & commercial for purchases, sales, (re)financing);
corporate (e.g. leases, purchases/sales, corporate minutes and records, incorporations, amalgamations, amendments, corporate planning, etc);
estate planning (wills [single and dual], powers of attorney, trusts, property transfers, inter-vivos gifts, designations, etc); and
estate administration (probate applications, assisting with asset transfers [shares, real property, investment and bank accounts], etc).
Legacy
Allan Goldstein, LL.B
Allan Goldstein graduated from the University of Toronto Law School with Irvin A. Rosen in 1952. He was called to the bar in British Columbia and Ontario in 1953.
Irvin and Allan opened their legal practice in 1954 at 1703 Victoria Park Avenue, before moving to 1648 Victoria Park Avenue. They carried on their practice in partnership, as Goldstein & Rosen.
In 1994, Allan retired from the practice of law, making room for Thomas to join the firm. At that time, the firm’s name expanded to Goldstein, Rosen & Rassos.
Sadly, Allan passed away on December 6, 2017. His humour and good nature will be truly missed by all that had the pleasure to know him.
Irvin A. Rosen, J.D.
Irvin A. Rosen graduated from the University of Toronto Law School with Allan Goldstein in 1952. He was called to the bar in British Columbia and Ontario in 1953.
Irvin and Allan opened their legal practice in 1954 at 1703 Victoria Park Avenue, before moving to 1648 Victoria Park Avenue. They carried on their practice in partnership, as Goldstein & Rosen. When he started, Irvin practiced criminal law, but then shifted his practice to focus on Estates, Corporate and Real Estate law.
When Thomas joined the firm as partner in 1994, the firm’s name expanded to Goldstein, Rosen & Rassos. Irvin served his clients with a unique passion and devotion that has allowed him to practice law for almost 60 years.
We are sad to announce that Irvin has passed away on April 19, 2020. His expertise, passion and devotion will be truly missed.
