About Gibsons LLP

Gibsons LLP is a business law firm in downtown Ottawa, based at Constitution Square on Albert Street. D. Kenneth Gibson founded the firm in 1977, three years after being called to the Ontario bar in 1974, and it's still known by the family name today. The firm now has four lawyers, plus an urban and environmental planner who practices alongside them, and it says its client base spans generations, including the children and grandchildren of some of its earliest clients.

Gibsons LLP practices business law, real estate, environmental and construction law, employment and contract law, wills and estates, development and municipal planning, and litigation. It serves clients across Eastern Ontario, from Kingston through the National Capital Region to the Ottawa Valley, and it works alongside accountants, engineers, and municipal planners on files that cross professional lines. Its litigation practice covers construction and environmental disputes as well as commercial, insurance, and personal injury matters, and the firm favours negotiation, mediation, or arbitration over trial where it can.
