About JMK Law Barristers and Solicitors

JMK Law Barristers and Solicitors is a small firm based in Mississauga's Clarkson Village, built around residential and commercial real estate work alongside wills, powers of attorney, and small business law. Founder Jacquie Knowles earned an undergraduate degree in criminology from Carleton University and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, graduating in 1990 and being called to the Bar of Ontario in 1992. Knowles started out in commercial litigation at a mid sized Toronto firm before moving into real estate law in 1993, the practice area that has anchored the firm ever since.

The firm has been in practice for more than 20 years and says on its site that most of its client roster is made up of repeat clients and referrals. Knowles has closed thousands of real estate transactions, working with a team of law clerks who handle files day to day. Beyond closings, JMK Law prepares wills and powers of attorney and takes on business incorporations and contract work for small business clients.

The neighbourhood

JMK Law's office sits on Lakeshore Road West in Clarkson Village, a small main street stretch of southwest Mississauga near the Lake Ontario shoreline. The area traces back to 1808, when Warren Clarkson settled there, and it later became known as the Strawberry Capital of Ontario as commercial fruit farming expanded through the area. Clarkson is now a neighbourhood within the City of Mississauga. JMK Law belongs to the Clarkson Village Business Improvement Area, the group of family run shops, restaurants, and services that line the same stretch of Lakeshore Road.
