The firm was founded in 1941 by prominent Toronto business lawyer John Stewart Donald Tory. John S.D. Tory graduated at the top of his class at Osgoode Hall, and earned a J.D. from Harvard University. He practised with the W.N. Tilley law firm in Toronto for a few years and then launched his own firm with a focus on corporate law. In 1954, John S.D. Tory's sons, James M. Tory and John A. Tory, the father of Ontario politician John H. Tory, joined the firm.
In the 1960s the firm was renamed Tory Tory DesLauriers & Binnington. In 2000, Tory Tory DesLauriers & Binnington merged with the New York law firm Haythe & Curley, whose predecessor firm was established in 1948. The firm rebranded to create Torys LLP.
Torys is known as one of the "seven sisters" that make up the seven top-tier law firms in Toronto.
