Judy Rich Law Office

About Judy Rich Law Office

Judy Rich Law Office is a sole-practitioner firm in Southampton, Ontario, on the Lake Huron shore in Bruce County, serving business, real estate, and estate clients across Bruce and Grey counties. Judy Rich, also a notary public, continues a practice that traces back to Robert (Bob) Forsyth, who returned to the Grey-Bruce area in 1974, after earlier work in Lindsay and Hamilton, and began a new practice there. Forsyth was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1980, practiced law there for 50 years, and received lifetime membership in the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2012. Judy Rich now runs the practice, continuing to serve many of the clients Forsyth built relationships with over that career.

Rich earned a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Western Ontario in 2008 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2009, after an Honours Bachelor of Human Kinetics and an MBA, both from the University of Windsor. Earlier work as general counsel for for-profit and not-for-profit organizations covered domestic and cross-border financing, including sale-leaseback arrangements and secured and unsecured credit facilities. That background carries into the firm's current work, which spans business transactions, residential and commercial real estate, and estate planning and administration, including support for estate trustees handling court applications and asset transfers.
