He runs Cohen Murison Law from Suite 5700 in First Canadian Place, in Toronto's financial district. He studied at McGill University in Montreal, where he earned his B.A., and then studied law at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, where he earned his LL.B. and an LL.M. by research, on Cognitio, Pignus, and Modus: Connecting a Broader Roman Law of Trusts Before 280 CE.

Much of his immigration work is at the Federal Court, in judicial review and mandamus applications, and it's the work he prefers. He also handles reconsideration requests, temporary resident permits, humanitarian and compassionate applications, and inadmissibility and removal. ### Why immigration and injury law In Benjamin's words: “Immigration and injury law both involve helping people navigate difficult situations that can fundamentally change their lives. I'm drawn to the research, advocacy, and problem-solving involved in both areas, particularly where strong legal arguments can make a tangible difference to someone's future, security, or recovery.” How he works ## Your file stays with Benjamin *from the first meeting to the end.* Cohen Murison Law is a one-lawyer firm.
