About Spero Law

Spero Law is a law firm based in downtown London, Ontario, at 291 King Street. It was founded in 1999 as Polishuk, Camman & Steele and practised under that name for more than two decades before rebranding as Spero Law in 2022. The new name comes from the Latin word for hope, chosen after a client said the firm's advocacy had given hope during a difficult time. It echoes the firm's motto, dum spiro, spero, or while I breathe, I hope.

The firm is small by design, with six lawyers covering civil litigation, employment and labour law, human rights, corporate and commercial matters, real estate, and wills, estates, and guardianship work. Its lawyers also handle arbitration and mediation, defamation claims, and not for profit and charity law, and one advises on oil and gas matters. Spero Law describes its approach as collaborative, transparent, and responsive, and says it doesn't practise family law, immigration law, criminal law, or motor vehicle accident claims, keeping instead to this narrower civil and commercial range.

It serves clients in London and, in its own words, across Southwestern Ontario and beyond.
