Years Experience
Some things shouldn't change. A handshake should mean something. Your lawyer should know your name. And when you call with a question, a real person should pick up.
We've been doing things this way since 1988, and we have no plans to stop.
Buying or selling a home, cottage, or farm? We've been closing deals across the Kawarthas for four decades. We'll walk you through every step.
Wills, powers of attorney, estate planning, and estate administration. Helping Peterborough families plan for the future with care and clarity.
Incorporation, governance, CRA compliance, and ONCA transition. Trusted counsel for faith-based organizations and charities across Ontario.
Our lead lawyer, Barry Bussey, has argued before the Supreme Court of Canada, earned a PhD in law from the University of Leiden, and published widely on constitutional rights and religious liberty. He brings three decades of experience, and serious scholarship, to a Peterborough practice built on knowing your name, returning your call, and treating your matter like it matters.
Meet Barry →Gary Ainsworth opened this firm on Sheridan St. in Peterborough in 1988. Almost four decades later, our office is still in the same neighbourhood, with the same values. We know our clients by name. We return calls the same day. We sponsor the Peterborough Singers, not because it’s good marketing, but because we love great music, and we live here too. This is our community, and serving it well is the whole point.
