Frequently asked questions

Is Miller Thomson's Waterloo Region location a small branch or a full office?

It's a full, long-established office. The Waterloo Region practice traces back to 1858 and is among the larger firms in the region, with lawyers across business law and litigation. It's also one of ten Miller Thomson offices in Canada, so a local file can draw on the wider national firm when a matter calls for it.

What kinds of law does the Waterloo Region office handle?

Miller Thomson is a business law firm, so the work runs to corporate and commercial matters, litigation and dispute resolution, real estate, tax, labour and employment, and intellectual property. It also has a wills, estates and trusts practice and offers personal legal services alongside the business work.

I'm starting or growing a business in Waterloo Region. Can Miller Thomson help?

Yes. Corporate and commercial law is a core part of the firm's practice, from incorporating and structuring a company to contracts, financing, and intellectual property. Because the office is part of a national firm, it can also bring in colleagues in tax, employment, or other areas as a deal or a company grows.

The office traces its roots to 1858, when W.H. Bowlby opened a law practice on King Street in what was then Berlin, now Kitchener. That's more than 150 years of continuous work in the region, and it predates the founding of Miller Thomson itself in 1957.

Does the firm do wills and estates for individuals, not just corporate clients?

Yes. Along with its business law work, Miller Thomson has a wills, estates and trusts practice and offers personal legal services, so it isn't limited to companies and business clients.
