About Lennox & Penney
Lennox & Penney is a law firm in Cambridge, Ontario, focused on wills and estates, real estate and business law. It's been serving Cambridge for more than 20 years.
Stephen Penney and Chris Baillargeon both practise corporate law, real estate, and wills and estates. The office is in Preston, an easy trip for business owners from across Waterloo Region, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and Brantford included.
The firm also publishes articles on practical questions. They cover how an owner hit by title fraud can work with real estate lawyers such as Lennox and Penney to reclaim the property title, the two main routes vendors usually take when they sell a rental property with tenants still living in it, and why a corporation buying a new home may not qualify for the New Housing GST/HST Rebate.
Business owners thinking about incorporating can start with a no-obligation consultation and price quote, and anyone with a will or estate question can call or email for an estimate of the likely legal fees.
Practice areas
Incorporations
An early question Lennox & Penney works through with new business clients is whether to incorporate under Ontario's OBCA or the federal CBCA. If a client doesn't need a particular name, the firm can set up a numbered company instead. When a sole proprietorship or partnership becomes a corporation, it'll advise on Section 85 rollovers, which can defer capital gains on the assets moved over.
Corporate records and family trusts
After incorporation, the firm's corporate work includes reviewing and updating minute books. It also handles family trusts, from setting one up to paying out income and eventually winding it up.
Less common residential work
Alongside everyday home purchases and sales, its residential work takes in mortgages funded through a self-directed RRSP, farm and agricultural transactions, and planning matters such as severances, minor variances and zoning changes.
Commercial property
For commercial clients such as property owners, private companies, entrepreneurs and lenders, Lennox & Penney works on office, industrial, retail and mixed-use projects at every stage, from buying, building and financing to leasing and managing them. Building permits and compliance with the building code are on its list too.
Cottages and recreational land
Lennox & Penney's lawyers have acted for local and international buyers and sellers of cottages and other recreational property. Cottage land comes with its own issues, and the firm's work there covers Crown patents, mining and forest claims, shoreline ownership, unopened road allowances and hydro easements that were never registered.
Condominiums and co-owned property
On the condo side, Lennox & Penney acts on buying, selling and financing condominiums, townhome projects, apartments and other multi-unit residential complexes, and it reviews status certificates. For property held by several owners, it drafts the declarations, rules and regulations that govern it.
Wills and estate planning
Lennox & Penney drafts wills and offers wider estate planning, with the aim of a will that's legally sound and fits your situation. For parents, a will is the way to choose the person who'll be your child's main caregiver, and to tie how assets pass to a child to age and achievement.

The neighbourhood
The office is at 708 Duke Street in Preston. Preston was a town of its own until 1973, when it was joined with Hespeler, Galt and the village of Blair to create the City of Cambridge. It sits on the west side of the city, where the Speed River flows into the Grand.
The Great Road between Dundas and Berlin (today's Kitchener), together with its rail links, helped Preston grow into an industrial centre whose plants made flour, farm implements, furniture, stoves, shoes and textiles. Plenty of residents still call their part of Cambridge Preston, much as others say Galt or Hespeler.
