About Ricketts Harris LLP

Ricketts Harris LLP is a Toronto law firm with its office on the 22nd floor of 250 Yonge Street, in the tower attached to the CF Toronto Eaton Centre. The firm traces its roots through a series of mergers, acquisitions, and name changes back to the years just after the First World War. Today its lawyers practice family law, civil litigation, employment law, insurance defence, estate planning and litigation, and business law, acting for major insurers, corporations, entrepreneurs, and individuals. A good share of the firm's work comes through referrals from other Canadian law firms.

The firm organizes its approach around an idea it calls thoughtfulness, formalized through an internal committee that reviews how the firm deals with clients, from using plain language instead of legal jargon to a stated policy against nickel and diming on fees. It describes itself as deliberately small, favouring closer client attention over the scale of the city's largest firms. Best Lawyers has named Ricketts Harris LLP to its 2026 Best Law Firms rankings in several practice areas.
