HKS Law brings family, real estate, wills and estates, immigration, landlord and tenant, and business law together under one roof for clients in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the communities nearby. Established in 2020, the firm works from Kitchener and offers representation across Ontario.
Harpreet Kaur Singh founded HKS Law and serves as its CEO. A lawyer, solicitor, barrister and notary, the founder also invests in real estate and brings a perspective shaped by both roles. That path started with an early inspiration and, with encouragement from the founder’s father, became a commitment to meaningful legal support for people who need it most and a close connection to the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge community.
On immigration files you’ll work with Joan Ohizua, an associate lawyer. Joan holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, began with refugee claims, and then joined a Bay Street immigration firm in Toronto, carrying sponsorship and economic immigration files independently through to approval.
The team also includes law clerks for real estate and for immigration and civil litigation. Construction disputes, zoning issues, corporate immigration and family-related cases are part of the firm's work too, as are criminal law and insurance claims. The main office is at 317 Fairway Road North in Kitchener.

HKS Law was set up so that good legal help in the Kitchener-Waterloo community isn’t reserved for people with the budget for a large downtown firm. Its model rests on lasting client relationships rather than treating a case as a transaction, and the team’s practice is to learn each client’s needs, concerns and goals before giving advice.
