About Janet M. Gibbons

Janet M. Gibbons is counsel at Cohen Highley, working from Strathroy on real estate, corporate files, and wills and estate planning. Janet's clients come from farming and from business, and also include individuals and families from across Southwestern Ontario.

Law wasn't the original plan. Janet hadn't set out for a legal career until a course taken in the second year of university caught Janet's interest and led to a law school application. The call to the bar came in 1979, and the practice has now run for more than 40 years.

Janet looked back on that career in a 2021 Women of Influence interview with 105.7 myFM. What Janet was proudest of at that point was having kept the practice going all those years while making a positive difference for clients. Janet's advice to women weighing a career in law was to just go for it, and to give some thought to which kind of law suits them.

Outside the office, Janet is a keen golfer and curler who also loves the theatre, travel and family time.
