About John G. Richardson Barrister & Solicitor

John G. Richardson Barrister & Solicitor is a solo law practice in downtown Toronto, with an office on University Avenue at Adelaide Street. The practice covers a wide range of civil and commercial matters, including construction, commercial, banking, and insurance disputes, employment, arbitration, environmental, municipal, and freedom of information matters, and personal injury and medical malpractice claims. Richardson describes the approach on the firm's site as identifying a client's real legal problem, weighing the possible solutions, and pursuing the option that's the most efficient and cost effective, while flagging legislative changes that could create risk or opportunity down the road.
