Hedges Sutherland Law Firm

About Hedges Sutherland Law Firm

Hedges Sutherland Law Firm is a small, independent law firm in Ottawa that's practiced law for more than twenty years from an office on Antares Drive in the city's south end. The firm's two lawyers, Rolland (Rolly) E. Hedges and Alison V. Sutherland, built the practice around three areas: real estate, corporate and commercial law, and wills and estates. Hedges earned a law degree from the University of Ottawa in 1981 and was called to the Ontario bar in 1984. Sutherland graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1988 and was called to the bar in 1990.

The firm describes itself as a small, independent practice that tailors its services to each client rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, with a stated goal of building long-term relationships instead of one-off transactions. On the real estate side, Hedges Sutherland handles residential and commercial purchases and sales, mortgages, power of sale transactions, and refinancing. Its corporate and commercial work covers incorporations, partnership and franchise agreements, business acquisitions, and shareholder agreements, and its wills and estates practice covers will preparation, powers of attorney, and estate administration.
