About Johnson and Schwass Professional Corporation

Johnson and Schwass Professional Corporation is a two-lawyer general practice based in Markdale, in the Municipality of Grey Highlands in Grey County. The firm handles real estate law, wills and estates, corporate and commercial law, and general contract law for clients across the county and beyond. Its corporate and commercial work extends beyond incorporated companies to unincorporated sole proprietorships and partnerships, including family farms, from initial incorporation through succession planning and, when needed, dissolution. On real estate files, the firm coordinates the full transaction, from drafting the purchase offer through title searches to closing.

The firm's two lawyers bring different starting points to the practice. Ian Johnson earned a law degree from Queen's University and was called to the bar in 1974, practicing in Toronto and Mississauga before relocating to Grey County in 1989. Jennifer Schwass studied political science at the University of Western Ontario, graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2010. Johnson and Schwass belongs to the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Grey County Law Association, and describes its focus as building long standing, intergenerational relationships with clients in a rural practice.
