Lerners LLP

The story of Lerners LLP began in 1929, a journey initiated by two brothers, Mayer and Sam Lerner, and a single, profound truth that would become the cornerstone of their practice. Mayer Lerner first opened the doors to his law firm, and was joined by his brother Sam a decade later in 1939. Together, they built their firm on the unwavering philosophy that 'no matter who our clients are, each and every one deserves the best representation possible.' This simple yet powerful principle has been the guiding light for the firm for over 90 years, shaping its values and its approach to law. What started as a small practice has since blossomed into one of Ontario's largest and most respected full-service law firms, a testament to the enduring relevance of its founding ideals.

From its original office in London, which has always served as a comprehensive, full-service hub for southwestern Ontario, Lerners has experienced remarkable growth. The firm's expansion saw the opening of a Toronto office in 1987, which quickly established itself as one of the city's premier litigation boutiques. Today, Lerners boasts a significant presence across the province with additional offices in Strathroy and the Waterloo Region. This expansion isn't just geographical; the firm has grown in human capital as well, now comprising over 140 highly skilled lawyers and more than 200 dedicated support staff. This collective of talent and expertise works collaboratively across all locations, sharing resources and knowledge to deliver exceptional, client-focused service. The firm's commitment to its founding values, combined with its continuous growth and adaptation, has solidified its reputation as a leader in the Canadian legal landscape, consistently recognized by peers and clients alike for its integrity and excellence.
