Lee Roche & Kerr

About Lee Roche & Kerr

Lee Roche & Kerr is a law firm in Bracebridge, Ontario, operating as a trade name of W. Robert Kerr Professional Corporation. Its roots in Muskoka go back to 1963, and the firm counts itself among the area's oldest law practices. Rather than working as generalists, it sticks to a set of practice areas that come up often in the district: real estate, wills and estate planning, land use planning and zoning, construction law and lien litigation, corporate law, and civil litigation. The firm also acts as local agent for lawyers based outside Muskoka, appearing on their behalf at discoveries, motions, hearings, and case conferences.

Robert Kerr, one of the firm's two lawyers, trained as a mechanical engineer at McGill University before turning to law. Kerr practiced construction law at a downtown Vancouver firm, representing builders, owners, contractors, and engineers in lien and litigation disputes, then joined Lee Roche & Kerr in August 2009. That engineering background carries into a construction law and civil litigation practice that also covers real estate, wills, and corporate work. Nick Roche is the firm's other lawyer. The office operates from 1-6 Dominion Street in Bracebridge, and the firm refreshed its branding and website in 2015 while keeping its Muskoka history front and centre.
