About Brunt Law

Brunt Law, formally Gerald B. Brunt Barristers and Solicitors, is a small firm on Byron Street North in downtown Whitby, Ontario. Gerald Brunt was born and raised in Durham Region and has practiced law from the same downtown Whitby office for over 30 years. The firm handles real estate purchases, sales and refinancing for both residential and commercial properties, wills and powers of attorney, estate and probate work such as survivorship and transmission applications and estate administration, and corporate and commercial matters including incorporations, business purchases and sales, and partnership and employment agreements.

Jara Brunt grew up in Whitby and studied law at Western University, then articled at a major international bank before joining the practice, working across the same real estate, wills, estate and corporate files. The firm also keeps a set of client resources on its site, including a land transfer tax calculator and municipal contact guides for property tax, water and utility offices across Durham Region, Toronto, York Region, Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough. Since 2011, the office has also kept a dog on staff, Bear Brunt, whose page on the site jokes that the job covers office security, naps, team building and performance reviews.
