About Francis Lawyers
Francis Lawyers, now operating under the legal name Francis Mehr LLP, is based in Ottawa's west end at 1390 Clyde Avenue. J. Paul Francis founded the firm in 1974, and it has practiced continuously in the city since. Farhad Mehr now serves as managing partner, and Francis remains with the firm as counsel. The team of lawyers handles residential and commercial real estate transactions, family law, wills and estate planning, corporate and business law, and civil litigation covering construction, franchise, and defamation matters, along with general counsel work and domestic and international arbitration.
Between them, the firm's lawyers speak English along with French, Farsi, Punjabi, Hindi, and German. Baljinder Kaur Basi, who first qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales, articled with the firm and joined as an associate in 2019 before becoming a partner. Marie-Luise Francis joined the firm in 1988 after a career teaching French and German, and now practices family law, real estate, and estate administration there.
