Jonathan Pitblado Law Office

About Jonathan Pitblado Law Office

Jonathan Pitblado Law Office is a small law practice based in Walkerton, Ontario, with a second office in the Hyde Park area of London. Founder Jonathan Pitblado started the practice in 2001, twelve years after being called to the Ontario bar. The firm's work falls into three areas: employment law, criminal defence, and provincial offences, and it takes cases from towns across Bruce and Grey counties, including Kincardine, Port Elgin, Hanover, and Paisley, along with London and St. Thomas.

Pitblado earned an undergraduate degree at Acadia University and a law degree at Dalhousie University, then articled in Orillia before moving into practice in southwestern Ontario. The work hasn't been limited to advocacy: Pitblado has also sat as a Small Claims Court judge and has lectured for the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Ontario Human Resource Professionals Association. On the employment law side, the firm's cases have been published in the Canadian Cases on Employment Law and the Ontario Reports, and its wrongful dismissal work includes the 2013 decision Wilson v. Solis Mexican Foods and the 1996 decision Lerch v. Cableshare.
