Virtual appointmentsAbout Moodie Mair Walker LLP
Moodie Mair Walker LLP (MMW) is a small Toronto litigation firm with its only office on University Avenue in the city's downtown core. Its founding partners, Robin Moodie and Ian Mair, previously practised at large Bay Street firms before setting out on their own to practise litigation "on a smaller scale with a personal touch," as the firm describes it. Bronwyn Martin now serves as the firm's managing partner, alongside several other partners.
The firm's docket runs from civil litigation, plaintiff personal injury, and medical malpractice to professional liability, insurance coverage, insurance defence, and construction litigation, along with employment disputes for both employers and employees. Its professional liability group acts as preferred counsel for LawPRO, the errors and omissions insurer for Ontario lawyers, and also defends insurance brokers, engineers, actuaries, and investment advisors against negligence claims. MMW also offers trial counsel services, stepping in for other law firms, businesses, and self-represented litigants who need experienced courtroom counsel for a specific trial rather than ongoing representation.
