About Bonney Law

Bonney Law is a solo practice in Ottawa's Centretown neighbourhood, founded in 2024 by Alexandria Bonney. The firm focuses on employment and human rights litigation for employees, along with mental health law and prison law, and describes its work as trauma-informed. It represents non-unionized employees dealing with discipline, harassment, discrimination, and termination, including reviewing severance packages against the Employment Standards Act and common law entitlements. On the mental health side, it takes on cases involving involuntary detention under the Mental Health Act and capacity findings tied to personal care, finances, and treatment under the Health Care Consent Act, appearing before the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, and the Consent and Capacity Board.

Its prison law work includes representation at coroner's inquests, habeas corpus applications, and civil claims and human rights complaints against correctional institutions. Founder Alexandria Bonney holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa and a Bachelor of Arts, Honours, in political science from the University of Winnipeg, and teaches the Prison Law Practicum at the University of Ottawa and Prison Law in Action at Carleton University. Bonney Law offers a paid initial consultation and accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates for qualified clients, and its website acknowledges operating on unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory.
