About Bennett Law Chambers

Bennett Law Chambers is a family law firm in Mississauga, Ontario. Its office sits on City Centre Drive, directly across from Square One Shopping Centre. The firm is led by founding partner Dawn M. Bennett, who studied at Huron College at the University of Western Ontario (Bachelor of Arts, English, 1992, with honours and a term at Oxford University in England), the University of Windsor (Bachelor of Commerce, Honours, 1994), and the University of Bristol in England (LL.B., Hons, 1997). Bennett was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1998, completed Canadian legal accreditation at the University of Toronto in 1999, and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2001, before articling at a full service Toronto firm and returning to Mississauga to practice family law.

The firm's practice covers separation agreements and divorce, spousal and child support, custody, visitation and access, child protection matters, grandparent's rights, and the division of family property. Bennett Law Chambers works through a collaborative approach and negotiation where possible, and takes matters to contested court proceedings when they can't be settled that way. It describes its service area as Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and the wider Greater Toronto Area. Bennett belongs to a number of professional bodies, among them the Ontario Bar Association, the Peel Law Association, and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.
