Bair Family Law Professional Corporation is a Barrie, Ontario firm that practises family law exclusively, from its office at 11 Poyntz Street. The team includes lawyers alongside a paralegal and law clerks, and it handles separation, divorce, child custody and access, support, and property division matters. The firm's senior lawyer, Tessa Bair, was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1990 and the Bar of Alberta in 1992 after graduating from Osgoode Hall Law School. Tessa Bair began practising law in Edmonton, then moved to a Bay Street firm in Toronto before joining Oatley, Purser in Barrie in 1996, heading up that firm's family law division for about six years before starting an independent practice.
The firm favours negotiated, out of court resolutions where they fit, offering mediation and collaborative family law alongside traditional litigation, with the stated goal of settling matters with minimal conflict, time, stress, and cost. Its lawyers between them communicate with clients in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Spanish, reflecting a client base that draws on Barrie's broader Simcoe County area. The firm invites new family law clients to call and schedule a consultation.
