Campbells LLP

About Campbells LLP

Campbells LLP is a small, full-service law firm in Oakville, Ontario, that has served clients since 1999. Managing partner Laughlin Campbell leads the firm, which groups its work into three areas: wills and estates, real estate, and civil litigation, with a further focus on administrative law and professional regulation. Campbell earned a B.A. from the University of Waterloo (Dean's Honours List, 1991) and an LL.B. from the University of Toronto (1995), then was called to the Ontario bar in 1998 after articling with the Ministry of the Attorney General. Campbell is the firm's principal litigation and trial lawyer, and has appeared before all levels of court in Ontario and before tribunals including the Canadian International Trade Tribunal and the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, as well as before professional disciplinary bodies for chartered accountants, teachers, and engineers.

One niche the firm has built is design-build contracts for custom home construction. Campbells counts itself among a small number of Ontario firms that regularly advise homeowners through that process, reviewing and negotiating agreements between owners and design-build teams. The firm's estate litigation practice, in place since its 1999 founding, handles disputes over wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including conflicts between co-executors and challenges to a will's validity.
