About Murray Lawson LLP
Murray Lawson LLP is a Toronto law firm that practises exclusively in family law. Partners Erin Chaiton-Murray and Meghan Lawson lead the firm from an office at 55 St. Clair Avenue West, near Yonge and St. Clair, serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area. The team numbers about a dozen people, lawyers, law clerks, students, and operations staff among them, and handles divorce, parenting and support issues, property division, and domestic contracts. Matters move through litigation, negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, whichever forum fits the situation.
Chaiton-Murray was called to the Ontario bar in 2009 and holds a B.A. (Hons.) in Health Studies and Gerontology from McMaster University along with a combined J.D./M.S.W. from the University of Toronto; Chaiton-Murray has completed a parenting coordination course, and holds membership in the Ontario Bar Association and the Advocates' Society. Lawson was called to the bar in 2012, studied Criminology and History at Saint Mary's University, earned a J.D. from the University of Windsor, and clerked at the Ontario Court of Justice's Family Court before helping found the practice. Both partners built family law experience at other Toronto firms first, and Best Lawyers has recognized Chaiton-Murray's family law work since 2020 and Lawson's since 2024.
