Buset LLP is a full-service law firm based in the central part of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It traces back to 1980, when Richard Buset started a solo practice after two years working as an associate lawyer at another Thunder Bay firm. That practice grew over four decades into a firm of more than 40 lawyers and support staff, operating from a single office at 1121 Barton Street.
The firm's lawyers, split across partners, counsel and associates, cover a wide range of practice areas: corporate and business law, real estate and development, family law, wills and estates, insurance, litigation and dispute resolution, tax, employment and labour, and public and administrative law. It also maintains dedicated mining law and Indigenous and First Nations law practices, working with prospectors, junior exploration companies, First Nations, tribal councils and Indigenous owned businesses across Northwestern Ontario, along with a sports law practice for athletes, coaches and sports organizations.
