Richardson Hall LLP

About Richardson Hall LLP

Richardson Hall LLP is a family law litigation firm in downtown Ottawa, founded in January 2021 by partners Jonathan Richardson and Amanda Hall. Amanda Hall had already spent close to two decades practicing family law litigation exclusively before co-founding the firm, while Jonathan Richardson's background covers civil litigation, including personal injury and construction law, along with family law. The partners describe Richardson Hall as a modern family law practice that leans on current technology and software to keep administrative costs down and respond quickly to client needs.

The firm has grown past its two founders to include partners Marta Siemiarczuk, a certified family law arbitrator, and Erin Lepine, along with several associates and support staff. Richardson Hall handles divorce and separation, custody and parenting disputes, property division, and spousal and child support, using both litigation and mediation or arbitration depending on the case. Erin Lepine has also built a fertility law practice covering surrogacy agreements, egg and sperm donor arrangements, embryo donation, and parentage declarations. Richardson Hall has been recognized by Best Lawyers among Canada's best law firms for family law.
