About Grandmaitre Virgo Evans Professional Corporation
Grandmaitre Virgo Evans Professional Corporation, known as GVE Lawyers, has deep roots in Ottawa's Orléans community going back to 1979. The practice has carried more than one name since then: one of its current lawyers joined as Dust Evans in 2002, and the firm was known as Dust Evans Grandmaitre by 2011 before taking its current name. GVE Lawyers focuses on wills and powers of attorney, real estate, business law, and estate planning and administration, and it also offers ongoing subscription legal services for clients who want continuing access to a lawyer rather than a one off consultation.
The firm runs on a team model, pairing its own lawyers and staff with outside professionals such as real estate agents, mortgage brokers, appraisers, and accountants so a file gets handled collaboratively rather than by one person working alone. Longtime lawyer Brad Evans retired in November 2025 after 45 years in practice, and GVE Lawyers is now led by Josée Cameron-Virgo, who focuses on business law and commercial real estate, and Phil Grandmaitre, who practices in real estate, wills, and estate planning and is fluently bilingual. In 2026 the firm moved its office from Orléans to Navan, in Ottawa's rural east end.
