About Green Germann Sakran (GGS Law)

GGS Law is a full-service law firm based in Burlington, Ontario. It traces its roots to the early 1970s, when brothers Donald Green and Blair Green founded a Burlington practice with Gordon Germann, known then as Green Germann. Karmel Sakran joined in 1995 and is now the firm's managing partner, and the current name, Green Germann Sakran (GGS Law), reflects that history. Six lawyers currently practise there, covering real estate, wills, trusts and estates, corporate and commercial law, family law, civil litigation, personal injury, employment law, and criminal defence.

The head office is at 411 Guelph Line in Burlington, with additional offices in Milton, Mississauga, Hamilton, and Guelph. Staff can communicate with clients in French, Malayalam, Tamil, Portuguese, Italian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Hindi, in addition to English. Each fall, GGS Law runs a Wills and Powers of Attorney event, now in its 16th year, that lets people put basic estate planning documents in place while raising money for a local charity. Afterward, clients' original wills and powers of attorney go into the firm's fireproof vault at no extra charge.
