About Carson Law

Carson Law Office Professional Corporation is headquartered on Fairview Street in Burlington, Ontario, and has served Burlington, Halton, and the wider Golden Horseshoe since 2008. The firm traces part of its history to Breen Law, founded in Burlington in 1973 by Christopher C. Breen and an associate, which later operated as Breen & Carter and then Christopher Breen Law. Ryan Carson joined the Breen team in February 2017, and after Christopher Breen's retirement in January 2019, the two practices amalgamated on June 1, 2019 into Carson Law, which still uses Breen Law as an active trade name.

The firm organizes its work into five areas: residential real estate, commercial and corporate law, wills and estate administration, intellectual property through its Carson IP division, and civil litigation. The IP division grew out of James W. Carson's background as an intellectual property lawyer with an engineering degree from Queen's University, called to the bar in 1978, who later headed the intellectual property practice group at Blaney McMurtry before joining Carson Law as counsel in 2018.

In September 2025, Carson Law joined the CRS Law Collective with Rinaldi Silva LLP, a collaboration the firm says brings together lawyers with nearly 120 years of combined experience while Carson Law keeps its own name. The firm runs a team based practice and now handles roughly half its client meetings through Law Society of Ontario approved video conferencing and remote digital signing.
