About Eaton-Kent Law

Eaton-Kent Law is a solo criminal defence practice based in downtown Toronto, led by principal barrister Matthew Eaton-Kent. Eaton-Kent holds a J.D. from Queen's University and a Bachelor of Science from the London School of Economics in the United Kingdom, and was called to the bar in Nunavut in 2017. The practice concentrates on criminal defence trials and appeals, along with panel work for the Office of the Children's Lawyer, and takes cases across Southern Ontario as well as in Nunavut.

Before returning to Canada, Eaton-Kent worked in the Immediate Office of the Prosecutor at the United Nations' International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, on war crimes prosecutions. The firm's docket runs from drug trafficking, firearms, and assault charges to bail and detention reviews, youth criminal justice matters, and Gladue Court proceedings, plus Ontario and Nunavut Review Board work and criminal appeals.
