About Reeves Richarz LLP

Reeves Richarz LLP is a full service law firm with its head office in Toronto's Distillery District and satellite offices in Hamilton and Cayuga. The firm's name joins two of its senior partners, managing partner Neil Colville-Reeves and partner Shawn Richarz, who were both called to the Ontario bar in 1994. Colville-Reeves holds a BA in History and an MBA from the University of Toronto and a JD from the University of British Columbia, and spent two years in the securities industry's corporate finance side before moving into law. Richarz was born in Vancouver, raised in Ontario, and earned an Honours BA from McMaster University and an LLB from UBC, then articled with an insurance defence firm in Hamilton before shifting the practice toward family law, real estate, and wills and estates in 1996.

The firm describes nearly four decades of work for property and casualty insurers, and its lawyers serve as instructors for the Insurance Institute of Ontario on subjects such as personal injury compensation, environmental insurance law, and subrogation. Alongside that insurance defence practice, Reeves Richarz handles commercial litigation, family law, real estate transactions, and wills and estates for individuals, small and medium sized businesses, and financial institutions across Ontario.
