Kalman Magyar is an international lawyer with nearly 30 years of wide-ranging experience in courtrooms, boardrooms and classrooms throughout the United States and Canada. He is admitted to the bars of Florida, Ontario, New York, and New Jersey. Kalman is involved in various legacy-building, non-profit and entrepreneurial ventures and is not currently engaged in the private practice of law and does not provide legal advice to clients.
He is a graduate of Brooklyn Law School in 1998 (where he won the CALI Excellence for the Future Award for achieving the highest grade in Food & Drug Law course) and Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University (cum laude) in 1995, which he attended on a music performance scholarship. He was a Judicial Law Clerk for the Superior Court of New Jersey from 1998 to 1999, and engaged in private practice for two prominent New Jersey/New York-based law firms from 1999 to 2007, representing a diverse variety of companies, including Fortune 500 companies.
Kalman relocated to Toronto, Canada in 2007 when he became Assistant General Counsel for Iovate Health Sciences, creator of some of the most iconic supplement brands in the world, such as Hydroxycut and Muscle Tech. He re-entered private practice in 2011 when he founded his solo firm which would eventually become Magyar, Bogle & O’Hara, with offices in Toronto, New York, and Naples (Florida).
Kalman was the firm’s Managing Partner until March 2024, overseeing a boutique practice working on a wide range of legal issues for entities of all sizes – from public corporations, private companies, to individuals doing business in Canada, United States, and beyond. Focusing on complex transactions, intellectual property matters, crisis management and litigation strategy, his clients engaged in a host of industries, including sports, vitamins and supplements, health care, consumer packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, performing arts, fitness, automotive, biotechnology, aviation, distribution, finance, insurance, construction, and manufacturing.
Kalman and his wife, a pilates-based fitness instructor, have been married since 2001, have three children, and split their time between Naples, Florida and Toronto.
