Kelly & Kelly Barristers and Solicitors

About Kelly & Kelly Barristers and Solicitors

Kelly & Kelly Barristers and Solicitors is a small, family run law practice located in the heart of downtown Paisley, in Bruce County. Patrick Kelly took over the general practice from the late Stuart Forrester in 1978, two years after graduating from the University of Western Ontario, and has practiced in Paisley ever since. Patrick grew up on a farm in nearby Chepstow and has brought that background to the practice of law. Patrick's nephew, Sean Kelly, was called to the bar in 2015 and joined the firm, carrying the family's involvement in the practice into a second generation. The firm has served Paisley, Walkerton, Port Elgin and surrounding Bruce County communities for nearly 50 years.

Kelly & Kelly describes itself as a general practice firm that handles a broad spectrum of legal issues, with real estate, wills and estates, and corporate law making up its core work. Its real estate files run from ordinary purchases, sales and mortgages to rural matters such as severances and leases, and its wills and estates work covers drafting wills and powers of attorney, estate planning, and estate administration. On the corporate side, the firm helps with incorporation, restructuring, and buying or selling a business, along with day to day operational needs. When a matter falls outside those areas, the firm says that does not mean it cannot help, and it will discuss the issue or try to find a referral.
