About David L. Brown

David L. Brown is Counsel at Cohen Highley LLP in London, with a practice built around business law for professionals and the companies people build themselves. Physicians, dentists and other Ontario professionals rely on David for advice on their professional corporations, and owner-entrepreneurs running small and mid-sized businesses also turn to David as their counsel.

That focus comes from long experience. David practised on a sole basis for many years, concentrating on business law, before bringing that work to Cohen Highley. Both of David's degrees are from Western University, and London has been home since the 1980 call to the Ontario bar.

Community work has been a steady thread through those decades. Between 1986 and 2001, David served the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada as a director and as its President, and other past roles include seats with local legal, heritage and youth theatre organizations.

Outside work, David lives in Wortley Village and has two daughters, and time with the children and grandchildren is something David treasures. Hockey, golf, reading and walking fill the free hours.
