About Murray McKercher

Murray McKercher is a small law firm in Seaforth, Ontario, that has operated under a series of names for more than 100 years, beginning as Hayes & McConnell. It most recently practiced as Devereaux Murray before adopting its current name on October 10, 2023, when it also moved into a new office at 32A Centennial Drive. Three lawyers work there today, including namesakes J. David Murray and John McKercher, supported by a team of law clerks and administrative staff.

The firm's practice centers on agricultural law, a focus that has been part of its work since the firm was created, alongside wills and estate planning, real estate law, and corporate and business law. Its real estate work covers residential, farm, condominium, and cottage properties, and its corporate practice runs from sole proprietors to larger businesses handling purchases, sales, and reorganizations. Murray McKercher describes its approach as client first and serves clients across Southwestern Ontario from its single Seaforth office.
