Virtual appointmentsAbout Clark Peddle
Clark Peddle Professional Corporation is a solo law practice in Welland, Ontario, in the Niagara Region. Clark Peddle has practiced law in the region for about 35 years, starting in 1991, after earning a Bachelor of Arts from Memorial University, a Master of Arts from Brock University, and a Doctorate of Laws from the University of Saskatchewan. The practice concentrates on wills and powers of attorney, estate administration, residential real estate transactions, and uncontested family law work such as separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, and uncontested divorce.
The firm favors quick, practical appointments over drawn out files, and home, hospital, and nursing home visits are available for clients who have trouble getting to the office. Since January 2025 the practice has worked out of a temporary office at 117 East Main Street in downtown Welland, after a fire destroyed its previous Fitch Street location. The fire, ruled accidental, caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage, but no client files were lost. Clark Peddle is a member of the South Niagara Chambers of Commerce, and the firm's team puts together a free breakfast and dinner each month for homeless and vulnerable people in Welland.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office at 117 East Main Street sits in the historic downtown core of Welland, a city nicknamed the Rose City after a 1921 contest in which the local Rotary Club had schoolchildren pick an official flower. Welland's motto, Where Rails and Water Meet, points to the railways and the Welland Canal that shaped the city, and East Main Street runs close to the old canal route and the Civic Square complex that houses Welland's city hall and public library.
Clark Peddle moved into this Main Street office on a temporary basis in January 2025, after a fire destroyed the firm's longtime office on Fitch Street. The fire was ruled accidental and caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage, but no client files were lost, and the ones that took on water were dried out rather than replaced. The practice continues to run from downtown Welland while that recovery plays out.
