DNH Law is the practice name of Darrell N. Hawreliak Professional Corporation, a one lawyer general practice in downtown Kitchener. It's a barrister and solicitor office that takes on a broad mix of everyday legal work: corporate and business law, including incorporations and share and asset purchases; residential and commercial real estate; civil litigation; wills, powers of attorney, and estates; employment law; and landlord and tenant and small claims matters.
The founder and namesake, Darrell N. Hawreliak, earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Toronto. The firm's account traces a career that began in Toronto in insurance defence and personal injury law, followed by a move to the Kitchener and Waterloo area in 1990. It has run as a general practice ever since, working from offices in downtown Kitchener within walking distance of the courthouse. By the firm's own account, it's the varied nature of the work that keeps it engaging.
