George Street Law Group LLP

About George Street Law Group LLP

George Street Law Group LLP is a full-service law firm based in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. Its lawyers describe the firm as an entrepreneurial practice built in the heart of Hamilton, and the firm says it is proud to be part of the city's downtown revitalization. Thirteen lawyers work across seven groups: family law, business, corporate and commercial law, commercial litigation, charity and non-profit law, real estate law, wills, estates and trusts, and employment law. The Hamilton office sits inside the Textile Building at 10 George Street, a four-storey structure once home to the E. Van Allen and Co. Shirt Company, since converted into office space with a sunlit atrium and marble-encased elevator.

The lawyers bring varied backgrounds. One partner in the real estate group grew up in Hamilton and practises in Portuguese as well as English. An associate counsel who focuses on real estate and land development works with a team that provides services in English, Arabic, Mandarin, and Cantonese. A few of the firm's lawyers also see clients by appointment outside Hamilton, at offices in Oakville and Vaughan, extending the real estate and business groups into the Greater Toronto Area without full branch offices. The firm's charity and non-profit law group, handling incorporation, CRA compliance, and governance work for non-profits and cooperatives, is a less common specialty for a general practice firm this size.
