Flett Beccario

About Flett Beccario

Flett Beccario is a full-service law firm based in Welland, Ontario, serving the Niagara Region since 1919, when John Hamilton Flett started a law practice in the city. Carl Beccario became a partner in 1949, and Philip Crouch joined the practice after that, eventually giving the firm its current name. Three of the firm's past lawyers went on to become judges. Today Flett Beccario is a team of about eight lawyers working out of its office on Division Street, handling business law, real estate, wills and estates, family law, and civil litigation, including personal injury, construction, and insurance matters.

Several of the current lawyers have long histories with the firm. One was called to the Ontario bar in 1977, articled at Flett Beccario, and has practiced there ever since. Two others, both called to the bar in 1995, studied at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto before joining. Two of the firm's lawyers have also taught commercial law and civil litigation courses at Niagara College. Another lawyer relocated to the Niagara Region after several years practicing in Timmins, Ontario, joining Flett Beccario in 2018. That mix of deep local roots and lawyers who came to Welland from elsewhere runs through a firm that has kept its name in the same Niagara Region city for more than a century.
