Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout David C. Arntfield
David Arntfield is a business and real estate lawyer in McKenzie Lake's London office whose work is mostly transactional: secured lending, buying and selling private companies, and corporate reorganizations. Dentists, physicians and other health professionals also rely on Arntfield for advice on running a practice and on changing its hands.
A lot of the day-to-day work is drafting and negotiating the documents that hold a deal together, whether that's a shareholder or partnership agreement, a services contract, a purchase agreement, or the loan and security paperwork behind a financing. Family-owned companies also turn to Arntfield when they're planning succession or an eventual exit.
Arntfield studied at Western University for a BA (Hons) and then a master's in library and information science before earning an LLB there in 2001, and was admitted to the Ontario bar in 2002. Best Lawyers in Canada has recognized Arntfield since 2025.
Away from the office, summers mean time on rugby fields across Ontario, and Arntfield is a member of Rugby Ontario. Winters are for the gym. Quieter hours go to painting, a guitar that still puzzles its owner, new Vintages wines, and watching a whole season of a cable series in one go.
