About Wards Lawyers PC

Wards Lawyers PC is a full-service law firm in Lindsay, Ontario, in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Founders Jason Ward and Karissa Ward both started their careers at large Toronto firms, Karissa Ward at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt after a 2001 call to the Ontario bar, before opening their own practice in Lindsay in 2003. More than two decades later the firm has grown to 11 lawyers and more than 15 support staff, working out of an office on Kent Street West.

The practice covers business and corporate law, estates and trusts, employment law, civil litigation and dispute resolution, personal injury, and real estate, serving individuals, families, and businesses across the City of Kawartha Lakes. Jason Ward retired as a founding lawyer in early 2022, after more than twenty years practising at the firm, and Karissa Ward continues on as principal lawyer and owner, leading the corporate and estates team.

Beyond casework, the firm produces In Good Company, a monthly podcast profiling local business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders across Kawartha Lakes, and its lawyers have been recognized through the Kawartha Lakes This Week Readers' Choice Awards every year since 2010.
