About Rogerson Law Group

Rogerson Law Group is a small law firm based in Toronto, with a second office in Barrie, that focuses on asset protection, estate litigation, and high net worth family law, along with tax and cross border matters. Founder Andrew Rogerson was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1981 by Middle Temple and completed a pupillage in the Insolvency Chambers of Michael Crystal QC at Gray's Inn. Rogerson went on to practice in South Africa, Australia, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Jersey in the Channel Islands, Ontario, and Alberta, and appeared as a barrister in London, before founding Rogerson Law Group in 2006.

That cross border background still shapes the practice today. The firm sets up offshore and onshore trusts and private foundations, handles estate disputes that reach into more than one jurisdiction, including matters touching Bermuda, Panama, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, and advises high net worth clients on family property and tax residency questions when they are relocating or hold assets abroad. Rogerson is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and has been ranked in the Chambers High Net Worth directory. The Toronto office is in Brookfield Place on Bay Street, and the firm, now a team of six lawyers, also works out of a Barrie office on Berczy Street.

The neighbourhood

The Toronto office sits in Brookfield Place at 161 Bay Street, one of two towers in the complex linked by the Allen Lambert Galleria, a six storey glass atrium designed by Santiago Calatrava that runs from Bay Street toward Yonge Street through the financial district. It's a downtown Bay Street address, in the same district as the banks, trust companies, and investment firms whose clients often intersect with the firm's asset protection and estate work.

Barrie has served as the county seat of Simcoe County since 1869, and the firm's Berczy Street office sits in that historic downtown, on the west side of Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe. The city is about 90 kilometres north of Toronto on Highway 400, and works as an access point to the areas further north, so a Simcoe County office puts the firm's family law and estate work within reach of both long time local clients and Toronto area families with ties to the region.
