About Lee LLP

Lee LLP is a small law firm in Kitchener, with three lawyers based at an office on King Street West. It pairs a general litigation and transactional practice with a separate dispute resolution arm, Lee ADR, that offers mediation and arbitration. The day-to-day work runs across civil litigation, personal injury, insurance, real estate, corporate and commercial matters, wills, trusts and estates, municipal and planning law, and the law of charities and non-profit organizations. The firm says it looks for early, cost-effective solutions first, and takes a matter to court when that's what a case calls for.

Its lawyers have practised in the Waterloo Region for decades, and one was called to the Ontario bar in 1975. Two of its lawyers have served as Plan Counsel for the Walkerton Compensation Plan since March 2001, advising on the resolution of claims through mediation and arbitration, and a lawyer at the firm appears in the peer-review publication The Best Lawyers in Canada. Mediation isn't a sideline here: all three lawyers act as neutrals as well as advocates, and the practice carries both the Lee LLP and Lee ADR names.

The neighbourhood

The office sits at 687 King Street West, on the corridor that runs as central Kitchener's main spine. King Street links the downtown core with uptown Waterloo, and the region's ION light rail has run along much of its length since 2019, part of why this stretch keeps drawing redevelopment. It's a fitting base for a practice whose litigation and mediation reach well beyond one address: the firm's Plan Counsel work on the Walkerton Compensation Plan is a reminder that its files can range across the province, while a central King Street location keeps it close to the Waterloo Region's downtown business core.
