About Us
Simmonds Law is a business-focused law firm that does things differently. We’re a modern, entrepreneurial team that prioritizes client results, smart growth, and a genuinely positive work environment. Many of our clients are business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals, and we actively support our associates by marketing their services internally and through our extended professional network across Eastern Ontario.
Our firm practices in a broad range of areas, including civil litigation, estate litigation, tax litigation, corporate law, real estate, family law, and trademark and intellectual property law. We take a practical, strategic, and client-focused approach to legal services, and we’re looking for lawyers who want to build a strong and rewarding practice in a collaborative environment.
We care about doing excellent legal work, and ensuring our lawyers are well-compensated for it. We're not concerned about where you work from. If you're more productive at home, in the office, or a mix of both, we support that. What matters to us is that you're a team player, a strong ambassador for the firm, and someone who takes ownership of their practice.
