About Izaak de Rijcke Law Office
Izaak de Rijcke Law Office is a solo practice in Guelph, named for the lawyer who runs it. It's built on a pairing of credentials that carries through the whole practice: the founder is qualified both as a lawyer and as an Ontario Land Surveyor, and is certified as a Specialist in Real Estate Law by the Law Society of Upper Canada. Real estate sits at the centre, covering property transactions, condominium developments, mortgage registration, and commercial leasing. From there the work reaches into the places where law and land meet, such as boundary and title questions and acting as an expert witness.
The office also prepares wills and estates, handles incorporation, and offers notary services, and it appears before tribunals such as ServiceOntario and in professional discipline matters. Away from client files, the founder has taught property law at Osgoode Hall Law School and cadastral studies and survey law at York University's Lassonde School of Engineering, has edited the journal Geomatica, and wrote the textbook Principles of Boundary Law in Canada. The practice keeps weekday hours by appointment from an address on Elmira Road North in Guelph's west end.

The neighbourhood
The office works from Unit 122 at 355 Elmira Road North, a multi-unit commercial plaza in Guelph's west end. The address sits close to the Hanlon Expressway, the stretch of Highway 6 that links Guelph with Highway 401, so the office is easy to reach for clients travelling in from across Wellington County for a closing or a boundary matter.
Guelph suits this kind of work. The city was laid out in 1827 as a planned town for the Canada Company, its downtown streets radiating from a single focal point, a layout still visible in the downtown core. For a practice centred on real estate, boundaries, and survey questions, a city with that kind of documented land and survey history is a fitting home.
