About Dason Law Office
Dason Law Office is a general practice in Guelph set up to handle most of the legal matters that come up in people's lives and businesses, from buying a home and planning an estate to family agreements, company work and civil claims. It's led by lawyer Sumita Pillay-Dason, and if a problem isn't on the practice list, the office is open to a call about whether it can help.
Pillay-Dason's career began in Singapore, with ten years as in-house counsel to its National Land Planning and Land Development Agency, and continued with real estate and general practice in Nova Scotia. Guelph came next: Pillay-Dason joined Hungerford, Guthrie and Berry there in 2002 and has practised independently since 2010.
The practice is rooted locally. Pillay-Dason has spent years working and volunteering in Guelph and Wellington County, and is involved in both communities, which helps when a file turns on local concerns. The office commits to shaping its advice around each client's particular needs and circumstances, and to keeping that advice timely and sensible. Three legal assistants, Leah, Rachel and Tiffany, support the work.
Beyond its main areas, the office gives independent legal advice on agreements that require it and witnesses documents as a notary. It's at 367 Woolwich Street, open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Practice areas
Homes, refinancing and private mortgages
Dason Law Office acts on purchases and sales for first-time buyers, growing families and people downsizing, and also handles refinancing, private mortgages and the drafting of agreements.
Wills and powers of attorney
The office drafts continuing powers of attorney for property and powers of attorney for personal care alongside wills, whether a client is planning for the first time or replacing documents that have gone out of date.
Estate administration
Estate trustees get help through every stage, from the application for a certificate of appointment to final distribution, with the office preparing the estate accounts, summaries of the distribution and releases from beneficiaries. Estate litigation is part of the practice too.
Corporate and business
For businesses, the office incorporates new companies, winds up and dissolves existing ones and handles the yearly corporate housekeeping, along with buying or selling a business, amalgamations and reorganizations, and franchises.
Family agreements and divorce
The family work centres on agreements: cohabitation and marriage agreements that protect a person's assets, separation agreements setting out the terms of a split, and divorce applications.
Civil litigation and small claims
Dason Law Office starts and defends small claims and civil litigation matters, through settlement talks and, if it comes to that, trial.
Employment
Employers can have employment contracts and confidentiality agreements drafted, and prospective employees can have a job offer reviewed or raise concerns about a recent termination.
Landlord and tenant
The office works for landlords of residential and commercial property, from drafting a lease to dealing with a tenant they want removed, and it has experience acting for tenants as well.

The neighbourhood
Dason Law Office works from 367 Woolwich Street. At 348 Woolwich, a single-storey cottage built in 1866 of local Guelph limestone is protected under the Ontario Heritage Act, and with the stone cottages at 340 and 344 Woolwich and 12 Mont Street it has become a local landmark. Down at 74 Woolwich Street stands the original County Court House, built of local limestone by William Allan between 1842 and 1844. The Law Library there now occupies the former 1911 jail, nicknamed the County Bucket, which stopped being used as a jail in 1980.
