About Owens Wright LLP

Owens Wright LLP is a commercial law firm in Toronto founded in 1984 by two partners, Douglas Owens and John D. Wright, who set out to build a practice that could compete with the country's larger, established firms. It has grown to more than 80 lawyers, articling students, law clerks and staff who serve a mix of public and private business clients across business law, commercial leasing, estate planning, real estate law, secured lending and telecommunications access.

One thing sets the firm apart from a typical Toronto commercial practice: its Telecommunications Access Group represents carriers and landlords on cable and wireless access agreements, and its largest client is Rogers Communications. The firm has also acted for Shaw Cable, Cogeco Cable and other providers. The real estate and business law groups work together on cross-border transactions too, including acting as Canadian corporate counsel for U.S. publicly traded companies. Owens Wright's tenure with Best Lawyers goes back to 2010, and it currently has lawyers ranked in commercial leasing, corporate and real estate law.
